I had our Dottie PTS today and really feel her loss. She was gradually going blind and she started losing her balance. She only ate when I actually held her dish in front of her and was losing weight fast. Today she was falling all over the place so I had to do what was needed.
I thought Mareks and the vet agreed and could give me nothing for her. She said that she would just carry on deteriorating so I had no choice. I only have one little chook left, Rosie, who I won't be able to rehome in case she is carrying the virus. Feel so sorry for her but she seems to be alright so far but bedtime might be the time when she misses Dottie.
My lovely Dottie who always chatted to me, especially when I said goodnight to them both. She will be so missed after having her for 6yrs.
So sorry to hear that. We too are down to the last one and while she is ok she has lost her reason to be here as Head Girl with no-one to check on and no-one to talk to.
It is so sad and I often think about solving the problem for her but just can't. She is losing weight and looks awful some mornings with an almost black comb but cheers up a bit through the day and looks forward to a FR when I get home and make a treat. Soon she'll be asleep when I get back so apart from the cat she'll have had no stimulation all day which is just no good really.
Dottie was a very pretty hen and you will miss her I'm sure.
So sorry to hear of you loss It's heartbreaking when you feel there's nothing you can do for them. I hope your other little girls doesn't miss her too much!

I have only got 1 girl left and she seems to be doing alright. She was always the bottom of the pecking and very timid order so today has had her treats etc with no bother. Time will tell but as she will be my last one and may possibly have the virus, she will be spoilt rotten.
Aw June so sorry to hear about Dottie. What a gorgeous looking girl she was. It is hard losing any of them but I have to say I am dreading losing my 5 year old
