debbiedoobs Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Absolutely gutted to say that I've just found my be bearded partridge silkie dead, she was flat on her back in the run with the other girls. Can't believe it! No signs apart from her having a few off days over Xmas. She was absolutely beautiful, so friendly and gave the best cuddles! That's 2 I've lost now in 2 months, I need to stop getting so attached because this is awful! R.I.P Connie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Oh I am so sorry about Connie Sometimes chickens can just go like that. I lost my favourite gold silkie last autumn in the same way. OH found here dead in her dust bath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Oh Debbie that's too sad, am so sorry. you often hear on here people having a run of bad luck, I think sometimes that's all you can put it down to is luck. Poor you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbiedoobs Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Can't believe it, she was still warm and her feathers were covered in mud so she had just had dust bath. She had mud on her beak and had been digging. But was flat on her back. Poor thing, she was only just 1 yr old. Gonna miss her noises when she talked, such a cute trumpeting noise. Gutted, absolutely gutted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Sorry to hear that. It isn't fair really. But she was enjoying her bath and it must have been quick, so no suffering. More hugs from me too xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
