I accidentally killed one of my hens today

I just needed to post them somewhere because I feel plain awful. She was a young hen, just barely old enough to know she was a hen, and I opened the coop door to feed them. The young ones are in a separate area from the adults. The door is has spring hinges that shut back when I let go. I think she was in the way somehow and shut on her neck.

I feel like a horrible person. She didn’t pass immediately but I held her until she did. It’s not really a question but I just needed to get this off my chest. Am I terrible?
