[Aunt Sally]

I'm crying too, she won't die in peace but in pain 

[karlooben]

i'll get to the vets first thing , i am kicking myself for her suffering .my friend could not come over today as all hell at broken lose at his farm an hes been working away or else she would have gone today .

why is doing the deed so hard he told me over the phone what to do an i could not even cope with that .

auntie u can feel mad at me for letting her suffer i wont blame u for feeling like that .

Can you find someone who will help you Looby ?

As Aunt Sally says, she needs to be helped out of her misery quickly. It's something that we all might have to face one day. You'll get all the support you need but she can't be left all night in pain.

So sorry to hear about what's happening Looby, not nice when they get sick.  I know I couldn't do the deed myself but I have someone I know that could if ever the time came.  Hope you get sorted.

there isnt anyone now , if my neighbour was still hear he could help .i really really dont think i am brave enough to do it .

but now i am thinking maybe doing it in the dark mite be better ..?

If you love her and dont want her to suffer this extreme pain then you will do it. She will not survive this and will only die in great pain. I wouldnt hesitate if this was mine. Its part of being a responsible and loving owner as you say you are. It needs doing, simple as that

[chickenlady]

she will be drowsy now! darkness will make less stressfull! we all with you Looby  xxx

[too many girls]

looby, i don't want you to take this the wrong way but you said yourself she won't make it through the night, i know it's hard but be a mate and help her out..................don't leave her to die a painful and miserable death, i know you've tried, but try harder.

[karlooben]

could i suffocate her would that be better then breaking her neck

[poultrygeist]

Have a drink of somethign and have another standing by but keep her in your mind. It's not right to leave her in pain.
I don;t know what exactly to do but if you need advice we can get it for you quickly.

[chickenlady]

Well done for going though Looby! shows you really care about them, she will rest in peace now, sending big hugs xxx

It's teh right thing to do and one of the realities of keeping chickens. Something we hope we won't have to do but will do if needed.

Well done for going out to face up to it and hopefully you'll be prepared if you have to another time. None of us can afford to leave our poultry to suffer.
