My hen died this morning
« on: May 31, 2011, 10:58 »
Despite my best efforts and a course of antibiotics my 3.5 year old Warren hybrid died this morning. She'd been suffering with sour crop since about 10th May.  On Saturday I thought we'd turned the corner as she was out in the garden and she ate some tasty morsels, took her medication, but declined yesterday. She died on my lap this morning before I could get her to the vet to be put to sleep

Oh, I'm so sorry about your hen.  Sounds like you did your utmost to help her get better, that's all we can really do.

Best wishes.

Sorry to hear about your hen CQ - we really do get so fond of them that it really makes it difficult when we lose one. You really did your best for her.

So sorry CQ, you couldn't have done anymore for her love.  But she had a lovely life remember that!

Sorry to read your news, CQ. The false hope of them seeming to improve just before they die is hard to cope with, but sounds like you did all you could. :(

So sorry - Its heartbreaking isn't it - I lost Matilda just over a month ago - they become part of your family so quickly.
