Stu1977 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I hatched two buff Wyandotte miniatures - sisters - in November 2005. They've lived together with a light Sussex miniature and a RIR miniature since then. I found one of the buff Wyandottes dead yesterday and have noticed today that the other - her sister - is making a sound that I've never heard a chicken make before. She's making a pitiful intermittent whining noise. Is it possible that she's missing her sister and grieving? She appears perfectly healthy.

Groovychook Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 So sorry to hear your news I'm sure a new companion or two would help your sad girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm sorry to hear your sad news. I think chickens do pine when they lose a best companion, and they are certainly flock animals so I would do as Egluntine suggests and get her a new friend or 2.
