I’m taking one of my girls to the vet today to be euthanized. I’ve had chickens for about three years, and this is my first of 15 to lose. I guess I’m lucky there, but also, I just feel horrible about having to make the decision.
She’s had something going on for a few months now and nothing has worked to fix her - vet took X-rays and said she probably has tumors - and now she’s started to have more uncomfortable days than not. She stands puffed up, eyes closed, separated from the flock. I can’t stand to see her suffering so it’s time.
She is such a good girl - middle of the flock, never caused trouble, great layer, just a good, chill bird. Wanted to share her here with other people who love their girls - the thing with chicken math is you don’t think about having to lose as many as you keep.
RIP Punky (B)rooster - I hope there is a special place for good chickens over the rainbow bridge (she looked like a rooster when she was a chick).
