    birds hide illness incredibly well to not let others know they're sick so that's probably why you didn't know. I didn't know when one of my beloved budgies was ill until it was too late also. much love and rip to her beautiful soul

    My chicken got egg once bound…I dint end well-
    Edit: another one of my chickens got water belly (it’s like heart failure for chickens) and we had to suck out some water from her stomach and she didn’t survive but we did what we could
    ❤️ Fly high Lilly and Ozzy and Mal ❤️
    (They we also my favorites)

      I lost my Easter Egger to egg binding a couple years ago, and recently my little pigeon, it’s heartbreaking losing a pet like that 😞
      It honestly makes me glad my other two chickens aren’t laying as much anymore (their 6) and will make me glad when my duck stops laying.
      I took losing my pigeon probably the hardest, but her loss probably saved her mother’s life because a friend came over with another female a week later and he checked over my birds, her momma had been unwell and I didn’t know what to do and he helped me and confirmed that she wasn’t well, little Shiro, my first pigeon is well again and I am so relieved.
      His help came too late for my little Asano but I am grateful that Shiro is well again, and the little girl he brought me is a sweetheart whom I named Ameerah. I decided now to keep Shiro in the house permanently cause she has always been happiest with me, so now I need another girl for my second boy 😅

    I cried so much, I’m so sorry!! I completely understand what your going through. The same thing happened to my cat, we had him for 16 years and he was perfectly fine one day and the next day he wasn’t, I felt so bad to see him in pain. But I’m so happy he’s in a better place and he’s still with me, him and Mel ❤️❤️ I’m here for you❤️

    I’m so sorry Cindy, I had to put my family dog down suddenly back in July. It hurts like crazy at first, but it gets better overtime and you’re able to look back on the good times you had with them rather than the times they won’t be there for. You gave Mel the best life she could’ve had, and I’m sure she appreciates that and that you tried to help her. 💙 We’re all here for you.

But it’s not like they are going to stay forever. It was her time. She would not of passed if god did not need her that bad. We love and miss you Mel, R.I.P

  • @PlutothePlanetoid
    @PlutothePlanetoid 3 роки тому +3

    I’ve had chickens since I was 2 so here’s a little theory I have about why it was so sudden:
    You may already know this, but most animals of prey tend to hide their sickness so they don’t get picked off for being weak. She could have been sick for a long to me and you’d have no clue. They’re very good at hiding it until the last minute where you’ll most likely be too late. Thats probably the reason why it just seemed to appear out of no where. I’m very sorry for your loss, it’s super hard to loose pets, especially chickens because they’re such a common prey. Hope things get better :)

    Chickens are such incredible creatures. 💚 And I'm glad you left in the parts where the vet explained why they are so prone to reproducive issues and there is really nothing you could have done. It's almost the same as with a lot of horses... since they're flight animals, they often don't show that they're not feeling well until it's too late. And then it does downhill so fast... yeah. Sending love; I'm sure Mel is watching over you now.

    Found your channel recently with the painting your horse as a zebra for Halloween video. My mom & I binged your videos from Crystal's pregnancy to now, & we're gonna watch past videos as well. This video hit home, reminded me of my visit to the vet for my dog. Died in January of this year. It was super hard & life changing but I handled it well. I'm so sorry for your loss, Mel seemed like a great chicken. Very sweet & lovey. I can tell she loved you very much & appreciated you for giving her the best life you could give her. Much love 💕

    I lost a chicken to a hawk, she was the sweetest just like Mel. I cried so much, I have gotten better all it takes is time. I'm glad to know it's not just me who is attached to my chicks.

    I think it helped that Mel made the decision for you. When the vet said they'd do a memory footprint I thought it such a sweet idea.She sure was a special chicken

    I'm so sorry for your loss. R.I.P Mel fligh high. I know how hard it is to deal with the death of a loved animal. I lost my cat in March due to cancerous tumors and now we have to have are second cat put to sleep due to cancerous tumors
