Lewis Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Dad just came home for work and put her in a box. I don't know what to do with her later, wait untill mom and brother get home and then we will probably bury her in the garden. The house and garden wont be the same, no babs clucking around and running down to the patio for food. She was one of the original 3 chickens we got, and the last of them. I'm not a cry'y person but I am really upset. I think it's because she was fine yesterday and now gone forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Oh my goodness - you poor thing. I was watching the Babs video just the other day. I'm so, so sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Oh Lewis, I think we all cry when we lose our hens, especially when it's our favourite one. I cried buckets when Clarry had to be put to sleep. They have such a special place in our hearts because they have such big characters. Babs was such a delightful little lady - I loved the video of her as she was so very sweet. She'll always be with you in your heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenlass Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 So sorry to read your sad news Having recently lost one of my own I can understand how awful you must be feeling. If she seemed OK yesterday then at least you can take some comfort from the fact that she didn't suffer a long illness or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Lewis I am so sorry. She was a gorgeous little chook - I remember the video clip of her, made me laugh so much. God bless her little heart and may she rest in chicken heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 At least she didnt suffer for long as you say. I finished my exams yesterday, so I am so glad that I was at home and she didn't die on her own. It was just a huge unexpected shock, and I still don't know what happened.

Chickybaby Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I know exactly how you are feeling Lewis, I also lost one of my chickens on Monday.......she was called Babs too! It's heartbreaking but she died in your arms and I'm sure that would have been a comfort to her. R.I.P your Babs & my Babs x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
