Lost my first chick today
 | First time chicken owner. Got 10 little chickies on Wednesday and all were doing great. Yesterday morning one started not feeling very good. We tried electrolytes, egg yolk, and tried feeding wet starter grain. Nothing was making any changes. I cuddled her last night for a while and put her back in the brooder knowing she wouldn’t make it. Buried her out by their future coop this morning. Only knew this chick for less than 48 hours but why am I crying so much? I hope she felt loved and safe before she passed. [link] [comments] |
