Went out to check on my ladies (3 of) this morning about 6 all seemed fine, went back about 11- after presents and Ginge was roosting in the box very unusual for her. Checked her over and noticed blood, poor thing was egg bound and had pushed her tube out 😞 most horrific thing I've ever seen. Poor husband has had the job of dispatching her (she passed away on his lap before he had to) and bury her on Christmas Day. Haven't told the children as it's DSs chicken and he'll be devastated ☹️
Horrible, worse because we've chosen not to tell the DC today

Big hugs.

I'm so sorry, virtual hugs from me too. Anyone who has lost any loved animal will feel your pain x

Ah sorry to hear that. I lost one of my girls last Christmas day too but I just found her dead in the morning which wasn't quite as bad, just sad.

How sad x We are away on holiday and my neighbour just rang me in floods of tears as she found a fox killing one of our hens. She thought the fox had got both but the other girl was hiding in a corner. They are ds2 hens, he does everything for them and he is devastated even though he was aware this might happen. We've all cried here.
