The Late Miss Sassafras

[BonnieBlue]

I have mentioned In a thread in which I am seeking help on a couple of issues, that I had 3 chickens, but had to euthanize one of them two weeks ago.

Miss Sassafras, aka Sassy, had an impacted crop. It looked like maybe she was going to fight through it (she gave it one heck of a try), and I had her just starting to eat and poop again. Unfortunately, just a few hours before she started eating and pooping, she clawed at her chest (I guess because her crop felt bad) and got a deep gash in it. As I was taking her to the vet to see how she could be treated for the gash, she either pecked or scratched at the gash and ruptured her crop. At least we were on our way to the vet so she didn't suffer long.

Even tho she was my favorite, I never know one could be so attached to a chicken.

RIP pretty girl.

Poor girl,I know it’s crazy how attached you get to a bird.

The other two run from me like "DON'T TOUCH ME"!

Sassy would run to me like "pet me, pleeeeeze" and would let me scratch and pet on her. I miss that.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You gave sassafras a beautiful life.

Thank you. I did my best. I guess that's all any of us can do.

She is beautiful. I have one that looks very much like her. I've been calling her Blackbeard. Would you mind if I changed her name to Sassy to honor your sweet girl? (Mine will never come running to me for pets, only for treats, lol). I won't if you'd rather I not, I understand there's only one ...

Its never easy to let go after they are gone. They get so entangled in our hearts. She was a beautiful girl!

It would be an honor. She was a sweet girl, so I think she would approve.

Thank you. They do. I spent so much time trying to help her through the crop issue, there was even more bonding.
