My Sweet Cinnamon is gone
Our take
Today, I’m heartbroken to share that my beloved golden comet, Cinnamon, has passed away from natural causes. We rescued her a year ago, and during that time, we did everything we could to give her a happy life. She was more than just a chicken; she was my faithful friend who adored humans far more than her feathered companions. Cinnamon had a quirky charm—she wasn’t the brightest, but she certainly was special. Always following me around, she loved to pose for the camera and would gently groom me with her little pecks. I hope she knows how deeply loved she was. Now, I can only imagine her enjoying infinite treats in chicken heaven. Rest in peace, sweet Cinnamon. You truly were one of a kind.
| | First time post. My golden comet today passed away from natural causes. We’ve had her for a year and she was a rescue. We tried to give her the best life we could and she was happy. I know i’m just yapping but i’m in extreme grief right now. Cinnamon. You were the sweetest little thing ever. You were my faithful friend. You loved humans more than your own flock and always followed me around. You weren’t always the brightest but you were special. You loved cameras and always tried to groom me with your little pecks. I hope you know you were very loved so much. I hope there is infinite treats in chicken heaven. [link] [comments] |

- Lost my favorite chicken. Rest in Peace, Noot Noot.Her name is silly, but I bonded with this little chicken over winter when I had to bring her in due to health issues. She was having seizures and needed to be somewhere where she wouldn't keep hitting her head and breaking feathers. She stopped having them finally, but yesterday I came home on my lunch break to find her walking around with a prolapsed vent. She had an egg too big for her body, and it was stuck. Nothing was getting it out. All the remedies failed us, and she started seizing again from the stress. I had to make the call yesterday and have a family member put her out of her misery, and I feel so low today. I know to many people, chickens are just farm animals. I've already been told by my parents to toughen up because that's farm life. I'm not phased by losing other chickens that are mean or that I'm neutral towards, but I really loved this little bird. She got comfy inside over winter and started following my poodles around. She purrs and loves scritches. She would beg to sit on the couch with me and then sleep while I gamed. Even after rejoining her flock, she ran to me every time I stepped outside. To anyone else who has lost chickens or other small pets they bonded with and really cared for, they weren't just a chicken. Weren't just a pet. That was our little friend, and their absence is heartbreaking. submitted by /u/strawbeebop [link] [comments]

Only one year old, taken too soon in a predator attack on April 2. 😭🐓💔 spring is a season of opening, of life stretching back toward the light— but it also carries quiet endings. our gentlest bantam, a soft presence among us, now returned to the same earth that held her. nature gives, and nature takes. we feel the loss because we loved her. — Closing out my first year as a chicken owner. Finally lost my first one. Maybe that’s why it hits a little hard. submitted by /u/Honey_Suckle_Nectar [link] [comments]
- I miss my dead hen :(I miss my baby girl soy sauce. She died a couple months ago because my brother thought she was in the coop when she wasnt. She was the sweetest chicken ever. She would take naps on me, she loved snuggles, she would talk to you, and she was so so nice. She was at the bottom of the pecking order, so my rooster didn't round her up like he does with the others. Something attacked them during the day, and she sat under the tree, injured at night. At 1 in the morning a raccoon got her. I didn't watch any more of the camera footage because my heart couldn't handle it. It was one of those sadnesses where your chest hurts because of it. My dog stayed with her until we called her inside, and tried pawing at her to get her to move. I feel so horrible for how she died. I miss her snuggles and her so much.fly high baby girl ❤️ submitted by /u/CareerFluffy5416 [link] [comments]
- Lost my first chick todayFirst time chicken owner. Got 10 little chickies on Wednesday and all were doing great. Yesterday morning one started not feeling very good. We tried electrolytes, egg yolk, and tried feeding wet starter grain. Nothing was making any changes. I cuddled her last night for a while and put her back in the brooder knowing she wouldn’t make it. Buried her out by their future coop this morning. Only knew this chick for less than 48 hours but why am I crying so much? I hope she felt loved and safe before she passed. submitted by /u/Gravitys_Bitch [link] [comments]
