I'm so sad, today she was doing well it seemed but tonight she couldn't find her way up the ramp to the coop where they nest and I think she's dying for sure. If she's alive tomorrow morning I will take her to my vet to have her put down.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. At least she had a nice person like you to care for her.

Sorry you are having to go through this. She is lucky to have had you take care of her. Sounds like you have done everthing you could to give her a good life.

 

[Bonniebooboo]

Sorry about your chicken. She is a pretty little thing. Sorry for her suffering.

So sorry for you and your little one.
I had a polish chick that started showing signs of cross beak at a couple of weeks. I wanted to try and give her some life to live as she had the best personality of the four chicks that I got. Gave her personal feeding time everyday but did not thrive as well as the others. She lasted eight weeks and was not well enough to make the transition to coop living. Hindsight I should not have tried to move her out with the others. And I would have been tied to this special needs chicken for as long as she lived. She died while I held her. Cried for not being a good chicken Mom and buried her next to the coop.

This is the hard part about chicken keeping. Sometimes we have to make the hard decisions and put them out of their misery. You did the best you could and gave her every chance before you put her down. You did good.

So sorry you lost her! Its so sad when they want to live but just can do it. Mine made it for a while but once she started getting big she just couldn't get enough food without me hand feeding her and I couldn't get enough to her. It killed me to loose her.
