How is it that such a small thing like this hen can bring such joy to live and then such sadness when it goes? She was fine, healthy and happy with both partners. This morning calling for food and playing in sand. She had some walking issues last year and a vent collapse last year where I thought I would lose her but she learned to walk again and pulled through. Then this afternoon, she was lying down sleeping and struggling to breathe. I took her to the vet and she said it wasn't good but to give her some medicine. Then an hour later my wife was feeding her. She suddenly opened her eyes and then died right there. I can't believe it. It feels like a terrible dream.
