    Default feeling a wee bit sad

    One of my chickens died today.

    It had been 'huddled' up in a corner of the hen house since yesterday and when I went to check up it today, it was dead.

    I think it was old age since it had no symptoms of any of the diseases on backyardchicken.com and I believe that it was an older chicken when I got it, but still, I'm feeling a wee bit sad.

    My sympathy. It is always a sad time when any animal dies, particularly one of your own. Cheer up. That is life. Regards.

    Aw I am sorry!! I don't have chickens but I love all animals and get attached deeply to them. I'd be terrible at raising any for food.

    Yah, I suck at this money stuff, I know. That's why I'm here.

    Hugs. I would be crying a bit each time an animal, even though it was raised for other purposes, left this world.

    {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} I became very attached to my chickens when we had them so I know how sad you must feel.
