We will miss Poor Ol' Twisty

[Jimagination]

Yesterday our sweet Twisty died. We knew she was not going to live as long as we wanted due to her twisted beak. We did our best to keep her healthy, grinding food and feeding her seperately, hand feeding, clipping her beak every couple of days, but Friday night she just seemed so weak. She never really could get the nutrition that the other chickens did. She was our favorite and followed us around everywhere. She would come into the house, jump on our lap and let us carry her like one of Paris Hiltons Chiuauas.
Her beak just got worse and worse as hse got older and there was no trimming it back to make it even, plus her tougue dried out a little where it hung out. We will miss dear Twisted Twisty.

awww

im so sorry for ur loss, u gave her the best chanc at life

Thank you. We are alittle worrie dthough. We just found a dead black bird on our deck. Do you think it could have been something else other than her twisted beak?

 

[lacyloo]

if u have a sliding glass window? because if u do the black bird might have tried to fly in the house ans just brok his neck? so i dont think the bird would have caused it ,lik u said she probly passed from her not gitting the nutriens that she needed

 

[Jimagination]

Wow! It was right outside of the sliding glass door. thank you for thinking of that. You just gave us a little less worry.

 

[lacyloo]

ur welcome but i would trow the bird way out in he woods so the cickens cant find it just incase the bird had a avain flu virus or somin?

Godspeed, Twisty.
You gave her the best chance at a normal life you could and she rewarded you by living as long as she did.

wow. its hard hard to lose them. You were a great parent to Twisty and im sure she loved you! Just think of how much you've helped her in her life. If she had lived somewhere else, she might not have had such a devoted owner.
