Need some comfort/closure

[Breenimmo1]

My first baby pass away. I thought she had splayed legs. Did everything to help from homemade splints, giving her food, water, affection every few hours. Making sure she was pooping normally, gave her save-a-chick with pre/probiotics and she still died. I know it was ftt but I'm still so sad. This is my first time raising my own flock without help from family. My grandmother recently passed and I helped her raise chickens for years, but since she's gone, I've been doing this on my own and this one really freaking hurts. I need a virtual hug. Peeps you'll be missed and you were loved so much in your short life.

I’m so sorry, sucky stuff happens sometimes, the first chick I ever hatched died suddenly without warning, and he seemed perfect, and I’ve had my entire flock once taken by a fox.. it’s hard but it gets better with time
Wishing you much

Thank you. I know it's the trade of the game but damn does it still stuck. Anything baby dying breaks my mommy heart.

It does, but you did everything you could, and you can hatch as many more fluffy butts as you want. It breaks my heart too, I’m definitely not cut out to be a farmer

It's horrific to lose a sweet, fluffy baby that has barely had a chance to live. But, you made great efforts to give Peeps the best possible life. Sometimes, we just can't do enough. Some babies just can't be saved, but they can be loved
