My yearling yellow foot passed away on Thursday evening (or rather was euthanized). She was born with some severe birth defects...apparently she was incubated at too high a temp and should never have hatched at all. Still, I'm sad...please keep Chelsea in your thoughts. Hopefully, she is a huge yellow foot now.

I am so sorry to hear about your little one. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Especially since you obviously were able to raise her to a yearling, it must have been an even more difficult decision to have to give in. But I am sure, that you acted in her best interest and gave a the best possible year she could have.

Hopefully you won't be too discouraged and take on a new, healthy baby at one point.
All the best,

Gaby

Thank you for all of your good thoughts.

Gaby, don't worry, we do still have a 3-year-old redfoot. I'm sure that one day we may get another...maybe not another yellowfoot, because that might hurt too much.

I also am truly sorry to hear of your loss.. be sure and get in touch with me when you are ready to get a baby redfoot.. I will take care of you.

i'm sure that her life, though short, was all the more pleasant for her because of your love and care for her. you gave her a chance where others might not have, and that says a lot for your empathy for her. it's a cliche, i know, but please find comfort in the thought that she is no longer suffering. *hug*
