It's been a rough few weeks. Most of my tinnies plus Shuri have been broody for weeks. It has caused a bit of squabbling as all the nesting boxes were occupied. I was pleased when Shuri, then Desdemona, quit & rejoined everyone else. Then in quick succession I lost both Shuri & Desi. I was devastated on top of losing Olivia. There was no indication anything was wrong until they upped & died on me. I have been seriously reconsidering keeping chickens & will not be replacing any time soon. I will relook @ the situation when/if I am able to move.

Oh Ribh.

This is very painful news and must be terribly hard for you. I will keep you in my thoughts.

I am so very very sorry. You must be devastated. I totally understand why you were gone.

it's awful to lose several close together, especially when you don't know what caused it so can't fix it. But you can know you gave them a wonderful life, and that they brightened yours before they passed.

Thanks, Perris. Olivia & Desdemona both had big personalities & were super friendly so have left a big hole. So far as I can tell everyone else is healthy though all my bantams bar one are now broody. I was going to put eggs under the Wyandotte but have ditched that idea for the time being.
