Sooo sad to loose a pet.View attachment 1699902
3 yrs old this coming May, top of the pecking order was a good leader loved by her small family of orpingtons they rallied around her urging her on these last few days but she didn't make it and passed this evening
She was independent, strong, kind to her flock when she was in her prime she had a floppy crest and layed eggs with a calcium swirl as her egg sig
I'm glad she's no longer suffering and she had a good life here, she was loved

Here's a vid I did a couple days ago nursing her giving her vitamin water

Do you know of the cause??? Are your other chickens also vulnerable to same??? 3 years is not old for orpingtons
