*sad* just lost my chicken

[annie3001]

husband said no to getting her tested. guess it would cost a penny. i dunno. got my beer tho, thanks dear hubby.
gonna go outside and check on the others in a bit.

more questions tho,
because she died in the coop. i poured more pineshavings, in and around the area, that she was found. its late here in ct. now. is there something else i should be doing? what about the eggs she might have layed today? do i discard them.

That's so sad. I've had that happen when a chicken is perfectly healthy and then gone before the day is over. I lost my beautiful blue silkie that way.

sorry for your loss, Im still worried about my sick chookychan, hope you have lots of understanding freinds and family to console you. Dont know about your area, but in ours unexplained deaths like this (if free ranging) are sometimes snake bite.

So sorry to hear. We lost one or our sweet babies suddenly with no warning today too. Part of having chickens I guess but it doesn't make it easier!

 

[annie3001]

Thank you for all your kind words. do you think the other chickens know? they were all so very close and friendly with eachother.

my one that passed today was inseperable with a tiny runt little game hen. She wandered around calling out all afternoon and didn't want to go up tonight. I think she was looking for her. I think they know and mourn too.

I think they do sense some kind of loss.

The eggs are probably fine but I would discard them just to play it safe!
