chickens accidentally passed

hello,

two of my family's backyard chickens accidentally drowned in a water trough we've kept for a while last night. we believe something may have scared them into it, and they were unable to get out.

the chickens were maybe 6 years old, and ive been having an incredibly difficult time coping with the guilt and loss. i keep imagining the fear, pain, confusion they mustve felt, i keep trying to convince myself that theyd lived out the better part of their lives, and it all just hurts so very much.

any comfort or photos of your happy chickens would be appreciated. thanks all
