What makes you think it is time to euthanize Brune?
As someone who, as you know, has lost a lot of chickens, your pictures of her do not look like it is time.
These are difficult decisions of course and I am just looking at a still photo.
The most difficult is sorting through your own feelings versus the suffering of the animal.
Impossible to do of course. But we must try.
It cannot be ‘if it were me, I would want someone to do this’. Because you are not the chicken. And you don’t know how you will feel.
She is not holding herself like she is in great pain. She is standing and is outside enjoying the air. That may be enough for her to prefer life.
Tomorrow may be different.
