kalikoo Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Unfortunately we had to have our Ginger Nut Ranger Scarlet put to sleep last night after her long fight with peritonitis. She did fight very hard over the last few months but it all became too much yesterday and took her to the vet (she has worked wonders to keep her alive) said it was time to let her go. I did not think I would feel so sad but this funny little chicken has tugged quite hard on my heart strings and I will miss her so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 So sorry to hear about Scarlet Karen. I know exactly how you are feeling though, we lost our Sam on Tuesday. The place doesnt seem the same without her and even though we have a new chicken I havent taken to her at all. Take comfort in the fact you were a good chicken mum and did the best you could for her.

Christian Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Oh kalikoo, i'm so sorry to hear about Scarlet! Egg peritonitis is a horrible thing, which we have been going through with Babs since Easter. I'm sure she had a wonderful life with you All the best C x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
