skye Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Oh no! You poor thing :( What a shock for you to find that. How awful... you must be so sad. I really hope your luck changes. How is the other twin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladylucan Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 The other twin is still nest sitting, she has been broody for about 3 weeks now,............ yep, dont ask!!!!!!!!!! so she hasnt really noticed at the mo, she will do when she finally gets her bum of the nest as they were inseperable ( until they get broody) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feemcg Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Sorry about your wee bantam . When I saw the pond in your run pics I wondered about chickens and water - I assumed it was quite shallow. I think someone else on here lost a chicken in a pond or trough - very sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladylucan Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Thankyou all for the kind words and hugs, She was such a character, she may have been one of the smallest, but she wouldnt stand for no nonsense, . Her twin is still nest sitting so hasnt noticed yet, Isnt is silly how we get so attached to them, As someone else said, if you dont have chickens you really dont realise how attached you get to them, whether you have just the one or 20 odd, they are all so special, Just another sad day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
