My baby chick Astrid died today. She was almost a month old. I hatched her out of her little shell. My little bantam baby.
I put her and my 3 leghorn chicks outside today in the pen with my 4 other chicks that are about 2 weeks older.
They were all running around free ranging in the turkey coop. My older chicks have been living out there for the last week.
Mind u my chicks come to be petted n love chest rubs. 1 jumps up on me when I pat my leg. So when I went out to check on the for the millionth time and to bring them in for the night it was odd that I didnt see her. She doesnt leave the other birds sight.
I had to crawl into the smaller section of the coop, lift up my turkey who was laying down n there she was. She had a hole in her shoulder/wing and her little bones were broken n there was blood.
Idk what happened. My turkeys are sweet. My tom loves his head rubbed. Idk if my hen got too motherly n pecked to hard. She hasnt touched my other babies. I'm at a loss
I grabbed my other babys n have been in bed pissed n crying since.
I am so devastated its retarded.
