I had a very similar experience with our very first batch of chicks when they were about a month old, I beaned on with a rock thrown from our lawnmower. It's hard to lose any of the cute little things, especially if in an accident involving yourself. I knew better than to have the discharge pointed in their direction, but one lapse is all that it took.

Well, I was a little hesitant to put that on there, but wanting to be honest....

K0xxx,
Sorry you had a visit from the AOD. I had one today as well, and she was the only one who hadn't been pecked nearly out of feathers by the big ROO. Not sure if it was heat because I had them in the shade near the coop where they come and go as they please. She was under the 5 gallon water bucket with those avian aquamiser nipples. They just don't seem to take to those very well. Wish they did because the water would stay a lot cleaner.
Again, sorry for your loss.
