Chicken bald back

[Claireabella]

Mavis sadly had some sort of seizure/ stroke on Monday night. She spent the night inside and was able to stand yesterday but was very wobbly on her legs when trying to walk and seemed to have lost her sight. We planned to give her 24 hours to look for any improvement before making that horrible decision but she made the decision for us and sadly passed away last night while I was stroking her

 

Although she was free for only 6 months she blossomed into a lovely, friendly girl, following us around the garden chatting away and pecking our pockets for treats. I only wish she could have been with us for longer.

 

This is one of my favourite pictures of Mavis when she discovered the nest box.

So sorry you lost a lovely chicken but what an amazing free life she had after the 'cage' ... without those who find a little room for them, they would never experience that.

What a very pretty girl.

I'm sorry you lost her but she did have a fantastic 6 months with you xx

Poor Mavis but she was lucky to have a happy, if short, life with you x

Sorry to hear about Mavis. She was one of the lucky ones, to have 6 months of freedom is good many are not so fortunate.

 

You gave her a great 6 months, well done!

So sorry Mavis has gone OTRB but her last 6 months, as others have said, would have been so happy for her. RIP Mavis

Ah thanks everyone; it's brought a tear to my eye reading through these comments. These hard working girls really have a way of stealing your heart. She was fine before this so I'm not really sure why this happened. I have been trying to just think of all the lovely things she got to do in the time she was with us.

Oh no, sorry to hear it
