Hi
Lost two chicks this year, trying to keep a stiff upper lip, but it’s just not working . It’s just hard ....

I'm so sorry for your loss. You never know how much you love them until they're gone. I lost two great hens this year as well. One I felt was my fault, and the second I knew was coming anyway, but its still so difficult, I feel your pain.
You think their just birds, but they're silly, curious, playful, excitable, loving birds all the same. I'm sure your sweeties were beyond incredible. I'm so sorry for you loss, it really is so hard. *Hugs and more hugs*

Sorry that you lost them. It's hard when you lose them, I know, but it gets better. Please hang in there.

Sorry about the losses. Do you know if they were sick or hurt? What were the symptoms?

Isn't it crazy how quickly you get attached to those tiny little fuzzballs? The responsibility of caring for them is so heavy and the pain when you lose them is so deep.

When I lost my first chickens (totally my fault for forgetting to close a coop), I wanted to get rid of them all because it hurt so much. It only hurts because you care; it's part of being human. I still remember each of my "lost" babies, and I do the best I can to take care of others and give them the lives I wish all of mine could have had.

I am sorry for your loss and hope you heal in your own good time.

They were hatchery chicks, one wouldn’t eat or drink much, and I think got run over by the older chicks. it was a rockette, and the other barred rock, was pecked severely in the neck, which I didn’t catch soon enough due to some stupid circumstances which I am still mad about. Since then I have tried To move the remaining 2 into a cage, but my 5 week Ameraucauna rooster or EE , became distressed, he seems to like the babies, I catch him sleeping with them.
