i lost my first girl today i feel really heartbroken i cryed my eyes out and really dont know how to tell my kids

 

she hasnt laid for a few days but was perky and bright ,then yesterday she was hunched up but i thought she had a softie on the way so i left her to it .big mistake

when i went out this morning she was half hanging out of the cube and i thought she had passed away , but when i got to her she was still breathing , she couldnt hold her weight or move she had no intrest in food or corn i brought her in to the kitchen and looked her over and she had what looked like egg all over her knickers ,she passed away in my arms about 20 mins later . does anyone have any idea what could of happened to my beautifull bluebelle ,

she was the moodiest chicken you would ever meet ,her name was pie because of chicken run ,i have another hen called gravy and pie used to pick on her ,so my son said i dont want to be a pie i dont like gravy and it just sort of stuck, she will be greatly missed the others are looking for her as she was the mother hen and to be sure the boss .

i cant believe how hard its hit me

Hi

 

Yes, I am sorry to hear about your loss too

 

I'm not sure if she might have been egg bound or not - possibly?

[chicken bark]

So sorry. At least you were there to hold her at the end.

[Janty]

So sorry about your loss.

[coco]

So sorry.

[Plum]

So sorry, it is really hard to lose one and don't be hard on yourself. Most of us would have said keep an eye on her in the morning. You just don't know what is going to happen.

[frizz]

Hi Plum, havent any idea what could have happened but a big hug to you, so sorry.

[Plum]

It was the-real-tinkerbell this time

[hippy chick]

So sorry

[karena]

So sorry I've only had mine for a couple of days and already would feel so sad if that happened.

[Egluntyne]

Sorry to hear it.

[Space Chick]

So sorry

[sewitall]

Sorry to hear your sad news. You must be feeling awful. If only they didn't go downhill so quickly - it often seems that you don't get a chance to do anything for them.

[Chucky1]

Good Luck

I also cried my eyes out when my first hen, Goldy, passed away, I still let a tear slip every time I think about her.

[scrambledhead]

Sorry to hear your news, its always heard to lose a pet and you were with her so know she went peacefully after a good life.

[cathybc]

so sorry, I cried buckets for my girls too x

[Heidi-Hi]

Only just read this, and it made me so sad. Having her pass away in your arms makes me feel sad and happy, knowing that she was being cuddled at least. Big hug x

[Mollie333]

Really sorry to hear this.

Egg bound? Same happened with Jon, i brought her in i knew it was her time, she died suddenly in my arms.

We lost our first hen this year and she was also top hen and a real character. It still feels strange without her but I'm sure in time we'll get used to it! Margot's death was also unexplained really. She just stopped eating and drinking, became weak and that was that really.

 

Hope you feel better soon!
