I am so sorry Southern. It is tough. Some are just special, you can't explain why, they just are. :hugs

You are so right Jodi.
2 weeks ago I sent off 45 birds for slaughter... I had 47 birds in the pens... I pulled 2 out. 1 was my little (I have no use for ) Blue/black cochin bantam that I "saved" when he got a huge cut on his back and overnight the other birds had pulled out his feathers... he was a 5-7 week old guy. He became my "baby". I couldn't send him off for dog food. I am a sucker.

I'm so sorry :hugs What an awful thing to happen to the poor boy. Chickens are not just chickens on this farm either. Even when I had over 100 running around, half of them had names and I was inconsolable when I lost or had to rehome a favourite. They really are special creatures.
