Oh no! What happened? I am so sorry

Sorry for you loss...what a cutie

awe! im so sorry! he was gorgeous though! he shall live with my RIR roo and BA hen in little birtie heaven....

I think he got pecked in the head, he was bleeding from the ears but had no other scratches on him. My LF roo has been picking on him recently... I guess he gave him one blow too hard to his vault.

awe!


my momma BA gave my chicks blows to the head trying to kill them.
my white silkie roo was pecked still in the egg. the other BA hens pecked the egg off of him before he had made his pip.



~~Eggy, was not babied well by his hatching mother, and fellow flock members. the chickens pecked the entire shell off of poor little eggy, leaving him in the inner shell membrane, in the open air. Eggy was not ready to hatch, but was forced to hatch without an egg on 5/29/13. We were not sure if he would live, being attacked by the flock, the egg being pecked off. We ended up opening the membrane up, to let it hatch without his egg. We fed this little guy propel, but his eyes were still closed, and he was still in his egg shape. Once he moved a bit out of a fetal position, he was still attached to the egg. He had a small piece of shell on his umbilical cord, slightly moving it we accidentally tore it away, beginning to loose a mass amount of blood (some you see in the picture) We cleaned it, putting medicine on and flour to stop up the bleeding. His strength slowly began to increase, but we would still have been surprised if he would make it. He did not do much laboring. We kept feeding it propel, hoping a little miracle would happen. One day passed, and this little chick was still not well. we did the same routine, feeding it propel, lifting its head, and diluting chick feed for him. We knew it would be a miracle if he lived. The next day, I woke up to the little bird gone from his fetal position spot. I began searching the brooder for him....but where had he gone?!?! I found him under my elder silkie chick's wing!!! He was all dry and running around!! he was a whole different chick. Because of all he had gone through, we named him Eggy.

So, so sorry. From all the wonderful pictures you posted I could tell you loved him. RIP pretty boy. That's the same way my Macho and my polish/silkie boy died, both from the beak of an overly aggressive LF Wyandotte rooster. No signs of trauma except for a tiny bit of blood on the backs of the heads. Needless to say, after the second death he caused, Mr. Wyandotte became stew meat (he was also becoming human aggressive, so this was really the last straw).

I think I'm going to try to put my babies in the adult coop for a bit tomorrow. I hope it goes well.

It doesn't look quiet the same coming from Silkies.

Aunt Bea wasn't having any of their foolishness and broke it up.
