She honestly didn’t want anything to do with me until her sister passed. R.i.p. waffle.)

I bought these beautiful cinnamon queens from the local feed store only TWO days ago. And the biggest one died. She wouldn’t move just sat there with her wings down. I scooped her out the coop to examine her and see what’s wrong. I didn’t see any swelling or wounds on her body at all. But I could hear a clicking when she breathed. I could lay her on her back, her side, hold her on my hand with her feet hanging, and she would just stay there. (Mind you These two were very active when I purchased them) I got her to drink some water with electrolytes and got her to perch on my finger and I hoped she’d be okay. So I set her back down with her sister, who I had in a large bin. About 5 minutes later the flapping started. I took her out immediately and set her on the floor to Let it happen without freaking out the other chick. When it was done I couldn’t believe what just happened. A perfectly happy healthy chick got sick and died in an hour? Their coop was clean water clean they had scratch shelter I have NO idea what could Have happened to her. I held her and cried I even tried some type of CPR to bring her back. I know it was stupid. But I couldn’t accept the fact I lost this beautiful bird so soon. I was and still am devastated. Now queenie hasn’t left my side. I’m sad too baby

I'm so sorry. I know you did everything you could have done and that you really cared about Waffle. It's hard losing a chick, especially when they are so young. I'm glad that you and Queenie are seeking comfort together.

I’ve lost a pet chicken named Digger. A deformed beak but a very nice rooster.He was a Batam BB Red, you could see he was retarded. He died in 2017 or 2016. I’ve lost many chickens to foxes.
