She was sweet and active and seemed to love her new stuffed friend. Then last night that miracle was taken away from me :((( I went down to check on her at 9pm...she was sleeping but would pick her head up when she heard me come check on her. Just acted overly tired...other chicks I had did that too. And it was bed time so I didn't think anything of it. I went down an hour later and she was laying on her side gone :( She had died somewhere within that hour! It's the first chick I had ever lost. She was 3 days old and didn't show any signs of distress. She was pooping, eating, drinking. I am just heartbroken...I had big plans for my little miracle. Now I have this other new baby who is just crying for her little baby friend. I got her at a park just so MY baby would have a friend. They were just separated by a wall of fence but they laid next to each other at night and could see each other and feel each others warmth. I was going to put them together next week when the baby got bigger. The other baby calmed down over night and is now sleeping with her stuffed baby. I'm prob going to try to find her a good home since it's going to be way to hard to introduce her to the big girls without a friend. I'm hoping to find someone who has baby chicks about the same size. I don't know...I have to think about it :( I'm just so sad this morning still!

That is sad news. I read where Kelly lost her one lone baby. You may could keep this one in a different place until it grows as large as some of your smaller chicks then introduce it. Helen
Oh no. :( All this time, all this waiting and hoping and then after it hatched we thought all was going to be alright. I am so sorry you lost that baby. She did fight long and hard and tried to be here in the world. Sometimes, I think there is a season for all things. The time for hatching seems to be passed. I lost that lone baby on the third day for no reason, now you lost yours. I think I am going to wait a bit to hatch any more of the Silver Laced Polish. When you want more eggs from Coco let me know. Be happy to get them up for you. So so sorry. :( Love, Kelly
That poor baby chick.
