To some people who raise them just for meat or selling purposes they might just be chickens but even then some of those people still consider them pets. I think the majority of people here on BYC consider their chickens pets and part of the family!!!! I love all my animals and it's sad when you lose one although I admit I don't cry when I lose a chicken but if I lost one of my dogs I would cry like a baby!! Different levels of attachment. The chickens don't sleep on the bed with me but the dogs do!!!! In fact the chickens aren't even allowed in the house!!!
So sorry for your loss! Know that you did your best and I think you made the right decision.
