3.6m Omlet Chicken Run for sale, Brand New in Boxes, Milton Keynes (MK19)

[craftyhunnypie]

We are finally saying goodbye to little Red this weekend - our pekin lavender cockerel. His condition hasn't got any better & without us we are certain that he wouldn't survive. I hope his 17 weeks of life were happy for him.

Bye bye little one.

So sorry Emma

[Tutti Frutti]

Oh bless him, I am sorry to read your news

[sewitall]

Heartbreaking decision. Feeling really sorry for you.

[Egluntyne]

That's a shame, but if there has been no improvement after five weeks, it is clearly the right thing to do.

[Tweety]

That's very sad news - but you are doing the kindest thing for the little chap.

[craftyhunnypie]

It's heartbreaking - we are both too soft for this sort of thing. We will have to toughen up a bit if we want to keep pigs!

I think it is hard because we have had to tend to him so much as regards food & water, so we have become very attached to him. But it is clear that without our help he wouldn't have got enough food or water & would have died. He is very small & under weight, as well as quite under developed. Hubby heard him try to crow once - but that was it & his comb & wattles never grew properly. He is definitely a boy though. The only one out of 7 chicks - it's just such horrid luck.

 

On the plus side - to help me get over little Red going tomorrow, I'm getting my millefleur cockerel on Sunday. It seems so soon after - but it's my way of coping with a loss.

Hugs Emma, feel for you both.

Thank you. Why do I have to be a soft sensitive type?
