Today’s Run:  10.50 miles

I killed one of my chickens today~on purpose!

She had been sick a few weeks ago.  I had brought her into the house and put her in an old rabbit hutch.  After some chicken medication, she came around and went back to live with the other hens.

This past Tuesday(?) my husband was moving the chicken tractor and accidentally lowered the tractor onto her foot.  She has been eating and drinking but unable to go up and down the ladder to roost.  We would pick her up at night and place her in a nesting box to sleep and then take her back downstairs for the day.  Things were going great!

We just came home from running group.  The chickens were raising a ruckus!  I went down to see what was going on.  There she was, laying on her side.  She was blinking and trying to flap her wings but that was all she was capable of doing.  Poor baby!!!

My husband brought her up to the garage and I wrung her neck to put her out of her misery.  Then I cried.  I feel awful!!!  Poor chicken.
