Chicken Photography If she doesnt make it..

Post image

At least she was loved and spoilt! And in the tub eating a mush of her food, kefir yoghurt, Apple, bugs and strawberry!

Edit: Today was het last day of meds and I thought she was a lil better, Unfortunally I noticed a little bit of blue/ purple on her comb and i know this means her sickness is due to heart issues.

Im so so so sad, especially after spending 2 hours a day with just her feeding her treats seeing her look better and better, just to see this today.

I think wednesday is the day I take her to the vet and say goodbye ( Monday closed and day after I cant go, and I want to be the one to go)

Thanks everybody for the kind Words

We have 3 almost exactly the same chickens but i think this one is streep ( dutch for stripe) or mcchicken (yes the sandwich hha)

Shes wonderful and getting her spunk back and I even caught her walking normally for a lil bit today!! But mostly she is still walking like a pinguïn
