I had such an awesome weekend with friends, the spring weather is back, I was feeling optimistic and great about things in general...

Until I came home and mom informed me that she found all three of my young old english game bantams (Piper, Blackbird, and Isabelle) dead today.

I don't know why they died, and I can't stop crying and crying and crying. I can't believe they're gone, and it hurts so much. I really, really loved those three and was so proud of them. Piper was going to be the head rooster for my whole flock. I feel so guilty, like if maybe I didn't go away for two days this weekend they wouldn't have died.

I just feel so awful, and just when things were looking up. I keep hoping things will get better, and then whenever they do something else takes that away.

I want my beautiful little birds back...

Oh my god, that's terrible. D: I'm so sorry to hear it... since it was only the three of them, maybe it was something genetic or related to their particular cage/area? Either way, you seem to take awesome care of your chickens, so I doubt it was anything you did or could have prevented.

*hugs* I hope you're able to find some closure on what happened, and that you feel better soon.

Thank you. *Hugs* It really is terrible, and hard for me to deal with. I'm not sure what caused their deaths, and I'm trying my hardest not to feel guilty. After all, I can't stay home all the time, and even if I did sometimes these sorts of things just happen. I really, really have a hard time with losing young, healthy birds like this, though, especially because these three were among my favorites. ;;

I appreciate the comment. It helps.

Losing anyone so suddenly can't be anything less than devastating, I imagine most people would feel the exact same way in your position.

If you ever need an extra person to talk to about it, feel free to hit me up on IM/PM or whatever. I'd be glad to listen. <3

Oh gosh... baby. :( I'm so, so, so sorry. *big hugs* ♥ Is there any way you can find out what could've happened to them?
