Chicktastic Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) Im sorry to say that Precious Poppy didn't make it. She started getting pecked again yesterday so I seperated her. She seemed happy enough but we found her last night laid on the floor, looked like she had died quite suddenly! Cried my eyes out all last night, I know i only had her for a little over a month, but she was my favourite. I had spent the last few day looking after her!! She laid her 1st egg on Monday which was my birthday and her second hours before she died! Now have the task of telling my 9 year old daughter that her chicken has died didn't tell her this morning because I didnt want her going to school upset! RIP little Poppy, Miss you already!! xxx Edited April 1, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanb Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 oh dear......I know how you feel.....we lost Daisy to a fox yesterday. My two children (8 and 5) know that she was attacked and that she went to the vet for an operation but we have not yet told them that she did not pull through. Certainly not something to explain before school. We are not sure how to tackle it when they get home......won't be easy!! She was the pet of my 5 year old boy.....

Chicktastic Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Thankyou for your kind messages, thought I would put in a little photo of Poppy enjoying a dust bath the day we got the Cube. This photo was taken a week after we got her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
