Carla
Spring 2012-14
This last photo was taken a week ago.
Our lovely Carla moved on the the big coop in the sky today.
She was young, only about two, but something happened last spring and she hasn't been right since. She acted as though she had a stroke. The color faded from her cheeks and her comb shrunk. She started walking funny and losing her balance while ruffling her feathers. Carla lived like that for quite a while. Then about a week and a half ago she became even more lethargic during the day and stopped going up at night. We would wait until dark, then gather our poor girl up and gently set her in the coop.
Do chickens suffer? If so, how do you know?
We felt the only humane thing to do was to help her move on.
Rest In Peace, Carla
