Our first loss

[LorenaAZ]

we lost a baby from our flock today. She was a little white leghorn, only a month and a half old. She suffered an accidental death, and I happened to see it when it happened. The little girl started flapping, so I ran to her and she took her last few breaths on my hands. I've never had a chicken die before.

I love all my girls, and it's just so sad that now we'll gather one less come dusk.

I'm sorry!!!!!!

I'm glad you were able to be with her at the end.

They definitely have a strong presence in our lives. Remember the things that made her special and spend time with the others . . . I think that helps everyone adjust to the absence.

Thank you ladies, for the kind words and understanding.
