smanners Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Poor Jump one of our ex batts had to be put to sleep this evening after succumbing to egg peritonitis She had laid a lot of dodgy eggs since we rescued her and I think her poor laying tackle was worn out She had become quite poorly over the weekend and despite treatment and lots of TLC our vet put her to sleep tonight. Although we are very sad at least we are comforted by the fact she had 6 months of free ranging and experienced real chicken life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budgies Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 So sorry to hear about Jump, it's so hard losing a little feathery friend. Glad you were able to give her 6 months of normal chickeny existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 poor poppet, so sorry to hear this. I've lost 2 girls the same way but, like you say, they enjoyed several months of happiness and proper chicken life xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smanners Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Will you be getting more ex-batts? I wouldn't hesitate in getting more ex-batts in the future they are such a delight and soooooooooooo friendly Unfortunately they only come in 3's and we just don't have any space at the moment. It's so sad that they've had such tough start in life which leaves some of them so worn out and vunerable . Thank you to everyone for your kind wishes RIP Jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
