MadMitch Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 My lovely big boss chicken Isolde died today. She started getting poorly the day before yesterday, turning purple which pointed to respitory/heart problems and went down hill quite quickly. She spent the morning in her house and this afternoon I took her out and we spent her last half hour sat in the sun together in the garden. She had a massive heart attack at 2:30 and died in my arms.

MadMitch Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Really sorry to hear that, we lost Florrie today si I know how you feel Thanks everyone. Sorry to hear you lost Florrie too. It was strange putting them to bed, they were all a bit confused. Izzy was the boss and always sat in the doorway to peck everyone as they went in. As she wasn't there I think they were making the most of it and didn't go to bed for ages. Anwen (her best friend) had a good look around for her and went round all the nest boxes to make sure she wasn't there and when they eventually settled they left a gap where she used to sit.

chickenNutter Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Gosh that's terrible, I have only just got my very first chickens so I can only imagine what you must be feeling, although I know I will have to face it sometime. I am sure she must have been very calm and comforted being in your arms. It must have been the nicest way to go. Don't be sad.
