I'm sorry about the boy, but it really wasn't looking good for him. Putting them out of their misery is the worst part of chicken ownership.

 

[silkiechicken]

It's part of chicken raising. Sorry for your loss.

 

[equine chick]

I'm so sorry, how horrible. You are doing the right thing.

 

[WindyOaksYokes]

Thanks all, I know its part of chicken raising, but I just feel so sorry for him... just wish I knew what got ahold of him... I'm thinking Lady... our momma boxer... she has been so good with them though... but years ago... she would attack chickens, not kill them, but mame them until she got hungry... so that is why I think her... but we have yet to see her attack any of them... infact they walk all over her... so it just does not make since. Anyways, thank you all for your help and kindness....Tes
