Lost another 2 ladies this week

Post by lizziedoggarden »

One lady was one of the burger mans chickens that I rescued a few weeks ago, no obvious cause,I just think the change was too much for her and the other lady was one of my 2nd lot of ladies I got..it was onlky a few days after I had to put my other lady out of her misery when she prolasped {cry}
At the moment I'm feeling quite negative about getting more girls..3 in one week is alot and it just breaks my heart {cry}
Don't dream it, BE it....


Am looking forward to welcoming Sunny Clucker to Woodbridge Suffolk!!!!!

Hi Lizzie, so sorry to hear about your little girls, we have lost a few of our original girls this last month. I think we've had them about 18 months so not as heartbreaking as yours. But still it is so painful to see them go {cry} We are still going to get some more, but the rescue is not near to us this time so will have to wait for a while. I'm sure you won't give up on having some more because you are such a good chicken mummy, and they need people like you, so keep your chin up sending you {hug&kiss}

Lizzie, it is tough this hen keeping , I sometimes wonder if it is because we care about them so much that we become a bit unrealistic about the fragility of these feathered sweeties. Focus on the holiday and your continuing recovery , thats the important thing for now, then when the time is right you can make decisions about more or not.
It will be alright in the end , if its not alright, it isn't the end .

So sorry Lizzie, it really is hard when you lose them {hug}

We are at a point now where we have decided not to get anymore as we just aren't good at handling losing them :?

Lizzie I'm so sorry you've lost more of your girls - It is hard when they die but while they were with you, you gave them a good life, you gave them everything they needed and they were loved & so well cared for.
Time to take care of yourself first now hun, enjoy your holiday and build up your strength.. {hug} {hug} {hug}
