She was a pretty little chickie. Having a heart and compassion for animals is NOT being a wimp! Give your wife and son an xtra hug for us when you get home. You are all in our thoughts.
I am so sorry you lost that little one....at least you have more to love....they are all so very precious.
I just lost my first (and only) bantam baby that the momma hatched (only lived 4 days) on Wednesday....I cried all day and a little bit every day since - even my 'Iowa' raised hubby was so sad that we lost the baby chick.
I am grateful to everyone on this site - such great people, all loving their chickens (I never would have guessed!), and being so supportive. I was hoping your story would have turned out better than mine....
