Many of you know that I had two cross beak chicks out of my 31 d'Uccle's, I thought that what I was doing was right by keeping them alive, accommodating their special needs to keep them healthy but my own selfish wants got in the way of their needs for over 3 weeks, I could see the pain they were in, they were picked on, they slept alone a lot, they ate and drank normally but they were depressed and out cast, they didn't play, they did not join in on snack time and they feared me the most.
I came to the understanding that what they needed from we was for me to end their pain and suffering and I answered this afternoon with the most humane method I found, starter fluid and a zip lock bag and what people said was true, they slowly just fell asleep and eventually they stopped breathing, they looked peaceful...I will be returning them to the earth in the morning...
My heart is heavy because I feel sad I lost two cuties that people brought into the world but I guess that's just part of it, even though its the saddest, I thank my husband for the emotional support, I am particularly emotional due to being pregnant I guess...
Here was their fair well photo as the warm sun set behind them on our very warm day.
