We lost a White Orpington hen this past week. She was always a bit on the sickly side, but it's never easy dealing with the death of your animals. I don't think I ever want to be the kind of person that just shrugs it off as meaningless.
It never is meaningless. Just some of us look at chickens in a different light... Yet we all know that you love your babies ! Was it the same one that ya'll gave the antibiotics to the other week? Hopefully it's not something which will spread to the other girls.
I think you are like me. Going the extra 10 miles to make sure every possible thing was done as opposed to just whacking an animal. Sorry you lost her.
Sorry to hear this. I agree, any loss is hard.
ReplyDeleteThank you,

ReplyDeleteThanks Spud, and yes it was the girl we gave the meds too the other week.

ReplyDeleteWe sure try to go the extra 10 miles. It doesn't always turn out in our favor, but what would life be like if we didn't try.
