Barefoot-- Me too!! I hope this does not become the norm for us-- to always lose a chick with every batch. It's one thing to butcher them, but something else entirely when they die at only a couple weeks old. Hardly a chance to live.
The kids are fine, a few tears and kisses, then their focus is back on the other 9 chicks.
Poor baby chick has gone on to chicken heaven.
Awww, shoot! I was so hoping for a recovery.
ReplyDeleteI have to hand it to ya... this is exactly why I don't keep animals. Well, that and the butchering thing.
Hope the kidlets aren't taking it too hard...
