Yesterday she was bullied sometime during a 2 hour window. She had been doing great, a bit of a loner, but active. When I went out to check water, she was in a corner, just seemed off. I picked her up and her little head had 3/4 of the feathers gone and was raw and bleeding. I took here in, cleaned the wound and put antibacterial ointment on it. Gave her water, she only drank a little. I set her ip
In crate, checked every 30-60 min and gave more water with dropper. Careful not to choke her. She became more listless through the day. My last check she was limp. I held her and comforted her, then she seized, pooped on me, and stopped breathing. I’m heartbroken. She would coming running when I went out to run, loved to sit on my shoulder or cuddle under my neck. I swore I would not get attached like that, but she won my heart. May she rest peaceful in Gods kingdom.

Thanks for updating although I'm sad about what the update had to be

Oh no! Poor little sweetie... so sorry for your loss. She's at peace now. It always hurts to lose our feathered babies.

Yes, unexpectedly. I think my husband was even sad.

So sorry for your loss, she was a lovely bird. It's hard to loose any, but especially a favorite. And her flockmates likely bullied her because they knew she was ill. Chickens can be tough!

I have posted several places & have not received much feed back.
I acquired this young in’ 8/2/22. Supposedly hatched end of May. Told she was a Sapphire Gem. It’s obvious that’s not the case with feathered feet.
I am trying to narrow her breed to ensure proper care. Estimate age & recognize any issues. This is my 1st year owning chickens. I need to get her a Buddy, she is getting bullied. I have her inside for now.
ANY thoughts, advice etc is welcome

Confession is good for the soul… well I’m devastated, as I believe I know why my little girl died. Hypothermia. I had given her a warm bath and cleaned the wound. Used a blow dryer and toughly dried her, but was inexperienced and underknowlefged, I did not know to put her under a warming light. Lessons learned but still feel just horrible. It was my fault!
