Tessa the Duchess Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 All my chickens were fine when I let them out into their run early this morning. When I went to let them freerange at around 1.00pm MInnie was lying dead in the run She had shown no sign of being ill at all. I checked her body to see if she had any problems, nothing to be found. I guess she had a heart attack DH kindly took her to the vet for them to dispose of her, I would have liked to bury her in the garden, but we have foxes, so not a good idea. I'm surprised at how upset I am, as I am usually not sentimental at all. I guess we do all get attached to them. Oh well. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
