Very sad day today, our sweet little Griffin passed away overnight 😭
Griffin was born on October 23, 2025 by caesarean from his momma Greta.
Unfortunately because of the caesarean Greta never accepted him and he had to be bottle fed.
Griffin was a very tiny guy when he was born and it was evident that he was premature.
It became apparent fairly quickly that he was going to have some challenges, his vision was not good and he seemed to possibly have some neurological issues.
Griffin lived in the house for 7 months and recently moved into the "chick shed" where he could stay warm and cozy but also get some safe outside time.
Despite all of my best efforts he refused to eat solid food and would not drink water or take minerals.
He barely grew and we realized that he was in fact blind.
We did our best to give him the best life we could but we knew it would not be a long one.
Yesterday he drank his bottle in the morning but refused it the rest of the day/evening. I syringe fed him water and moved him into my front garden with a cozy kennel for the night but unfortunately he passed away 😭
I know in my heart this is best for Griffin but I still feel so sad for him and can’t help wondering if there was anything I could have done differently.
I buried him in the garden by the wild roses and cherry tree and planted some lilies in the planter above him.
I also hung a butterfly feeder near his grave in case he wants to come visit 🦋
RIP sweet boy, you will be missed 💙
