I lost my hen Phoebe. Totally out of the blue. I went to turn off the light in the aviary and there she was laying dead on the floor. She was not showing any signs of illness at all. She has always been a healthy bird with no problems so this was a real shock.
Good bye my sweet girl, you were the most docile of hens with a loving nature who fed and cared for Opal until she passed. Your partner, Basil, will miss you as will I. Sleep well my princess.

 Oh, no! I am sorry, starlingqueen. It is bad enough when you are expecting the worst; terrible when you don't see it coming. Rest in Peace, little Phoebe. |

oh no - how sad. I am so sorry. The only consolation is that it was quick for her with no illness lead up.
RIP Phoebe

Thank you everyone. There is a big hole in the aviary this morning. She was only 4 Shirls, a show bird so who knows if there were genetic problems? I have her 2 brothers too, got them as babies. Here she is when I first put them into the aviary, with one of her brothers.  |

I'm really sorry for your loss starlingqueen, but must admit when you said 'hen' I immediately thought of chicken! No less of a loss though. She was a very pretty birdie. |
