I haven't had a chicken yet that I did not get attached too. They each have their own little personalities.I have one that greets you like a dog, one that pecks at your pant leg to be held, one that snugs in my armpit and stretches her head over my shoulder like she is giving a hug.One that comes running to me and looks up at me to put her in her nest(spoiled!). And it just goes on and on! In my introduction I mentioned that they are more then just chickens to me, they are our babies!! As devastating as it is to lose one you just got to look at it as if anything you provided a loving home for them. Some chickens don't get that opportunity. That you for the concern for my little Lilybug. I pray every night for her to have a full recovery including those I read about on BYC.
