[Ruby Red]

Ive just got back from the vets where I asked them to put my silkie to sleep. She had been limpin badly since friday. Despite having anti biotics for a hot foot she gradually got worse and in the end although when I held her she ate loads, she couldnt even stand and kept flopping over. Good grief. I know it was only a hen but having to stroke her while she drifted off was terrible. Though I know I did the right thing it still makes me feel dreadful because she was still so bright and eating. Ive had to dig a hole for her with one arm because the kids wanted her back in the garden. Feeling dodo at the mo.

Ruby I am so sorry, you did the best thing and a very brave thing, well done you on putting your silkies wellbeing first. I know exactly how you feel whilst they give us so much it is so very very tough to say goodbye.

Loads of hugs are winging there way to you right now!!!! :cry:

Chooks really do become much loved pets and and it's so difficult to make the decision to say goodbye even when you know you must  :cry:
