Sick hen...Impacted crop and not walking at all

[AuntJamie]

I've been following along as this was going on and it was obvious you were working really hard. I'm so sorry she didn't make it. I do hope you are able to take a look inside as it should be quite informative and could help you or others in the future, but not everyone could do such a thing. At least the new chicks will ease this loss.

I thought about doing that but didn't feel I could stomach it so I had my husband bury her this morning before he went to work and the boys got up. But it would be a good way to learn what happen and to teach the boys. The took the news pretty good considering, the 4 yr old teared a bit but they asked about the other chicken we have inside residing in our master bathroom for the last 6 weeks. We found Momma Frizzle with no feather on her back end, since she is so tiny and one of my absolute favorites, I convinced my husband to let me bring her inside. She is one of my few hens that is broody and I took advantage of that and have her sitting on eggs. She's very spoiled
