Loss of Gladys

Poor Gladys Bunny had been acting poorly the last few days.  She didn't want to eat, wasn't foraging and was happy to just to be held.  We added electrolytes to her water, fed her baby food with a dropper, and tried to coddle her.  Sadly, she passed away this morning.  We think its what happened to our little hen Pan last year and what we call Failure to Thrive.  Its as if some chicks just don't quite get enough umph to move into adulthood.  We shall miss her.
