last egg!

[snakeshack]

having had an egg a day from one of my Ls hybrids (egbert) I found her about mid morning with her last egg beside her and a massive prolapse.
I culled her immediately as there was obviosly no hope.

[RedThorn]

sorry mate. Not nice to have to do

[Nicos]

Ouch......you did the right thing there xx

[vicky]

Think you did the right thing, but how awful, feel sorry for you

[Suechooks]

How awful but obviously the right decision.

[Flummery]

What an awful thing to have to do. I really feel for you. Poor thing (her I mean, but you too!)

[MaureenHall]

Oh that's so sad!!!! Bless her, and I think you did the right thing too

[kirsty b]

Its a hard thing to have to do, but you did right not letting her suffer. Sorry mate.

[Glutton4...]

Oh poor little thing I agree that you did the right thing though!

[MrsC]

Sad, but the right thing to do x

[julesapple]

Very sad, as everyone says. I only hope, if faced with the same or similar situations, I could be as brave as you were. I think it takes tremendous courage to do the ultimate act of compassion.

Had you had Egbert long?

had my girls about 8 weeks now, hope this was just bad luck as I think I have the feeding regime right.
On a slightly more callous note egbert is now in the fridge and will be partially cremated by mrs snakeshack,with some roast spuds later today.
I felt it would be a waste to dispose of her in any other way.
My 17 year old daughter thinks i'm a monster and is not speaking to me.
here's to a quiet lunch then.

[RedThorn]

waste not want not. Agree with you though. Honour by making as nice a meal as possible

[MaureenHall]

What a good idea!!! And a respectful end to a loved girl. Enjoy

[Eco-Chic]

Sorry for your loss Snakeshack. I think eating Egbert is very respectful, if you do manage to, but I understand your daughter's reaction too.

I couldn't bring myself to eat Sweet Clarrie Cluck when Teddy JR killed her and I wouldn't give her to her murderer for lunch either. Putting her in the bin seemed callous and uncaring but that is what I had to do.
