I feel where you are coming from...
This morning I woke to a broken window to my hen's coop.

The feather tuft is of my Speckled sussex.
I am missing 2.
I have not had good luck with SS
They have been sweet though.
My first one died when when I went on vacation and my dad was sitting my birds. The food dish he was using flipped on top of it.
I got another one who was sweet, but I sold it to lighten a load I had. I ordered another in the mail, and had it a while but lost it when a pop door came down on it.
Recently I ordered some through the mail. Only one chick didn't make it, of course it was the SS. I ordered 3 more SS as a replacement. And now I have one.

Thank you both so much!
I really appreciate it. Such wonderful folks here on BYC that get it.
She was such a special chicken and she is very missed.

Thank you!
I believe she was a Leghorn/RSL cross. She hatched out of a medium brown egg.

So my most amazing, awesome chicken ever, and the first of mine that considered herself a pet as much as I did, passed today.
I hatched Frankie from a grocery store egg on a whim in the height of Covid, July 2020.

She always had a big personality, right from the start. She was the only egg that hatched out of 6 set.
She busted right out of her shell as if to say, “Here I am world, watch out!”
She was always accepting of other birds, loved meal worms and was known to wander a bit. Curious and very intelligent, she loved hopping into my lap on her terms for a few pats.
This past week she just hadn’t been herself.
Moving slowly and comb droopy. Tried the usual interventions, she seemed to perk up a bit, but we all had a feeling it was her time.
She was a production chicken, the egg she hatched from came from such a place. I knew she would not have a long life, but I was hoping for more time.
She was loved dearly and will be missed.
Keeping chickens just won’t be the same without her.

I am so so sorry about Frankie. She sounds like quite the character. May she fly across the rainbow bridge.
