This isn't really for advice I just feel sad, got 6 ex battery hens 3 months ago, they're all fab and unbelievably tame. Then got given another 4 3 days later. These tripled in size in a week, looked it up and I believe them to be broilers, so have arranged to get them rehomed to someone who will keep them then use them for their errm purpose. However one got a bubbly eye and a bit of a cold a few days ago, got some antibiotics she seemed a bit brighter, checked on her today and she's had one of her eyes pecked out :( :( :( she doesn't seem to bad considering and they are getting rehomed on Wednesday. I've said to my OH if I think shes suffering too much tomorrow I'm going to get her put down. Anyone had this done before, idea of cost? My reason for having chickens was to have eggs and nice pets. We will not kill them ourselves. Also if I'm this upset over a damn chicken what will I be like when my DS gets poorly?! I'll be a mess!
