HennyPenny Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 When we lost Rita, we put it down to her being one of our oldest chooks but then Jean, one of our younger girls, died yesterday after a couple of days of looking hunched and generally miserable. We're hoping it's nothing sinister so we've ordered a new Eglu for three new girls but we'll be waiting a little while to make sure all our remaining girls are as healthy as they look before we get any more. Funny how you get attached to a feathery creature, isn't it? The garden seems much emptier now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesleyH Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 its so sad when you lose one - especially if they are quite young. unfortunately it just happens sometimes. i think some of the girls may be destined for a short life - and there's nothing you could do to change it. i am sorry for your loss - it is amazing how you get attached to the little wee beasties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
