CASUALTY IN THE COOP
Well, we're officially in compliance with county ordinance 15849 - or something like that. Chicken #6 passed away on Saturday. Our first casualty of the bunch. Very close to their 3 yr anniversary. The remaining 5 are quite full of spirit so we'll see what happens. We haven't uncovered the cause of death yet as autopsy results are pending. We were told they should take about 4-6 weeks before we'll know. It's quite tragic as you can imagine. Chris and I had a somber, but not sober, moment with the Reverend Jack Daniels to mourn her passing. The kids just wondered, and wondered, and then wondered some more..."but where did she go?" She was one of two we called "Pinky". Now there's only 1.
It's been a lovely late winter here. The daffidils are in full bloom. We are SOOOO looking forward to Easter and seeing a bunch of the familia. It's still not too late to RSVP.
The first picture is where it all happened - the coop. The second is "big boy Jackson" - he's about 25 lbs overweight, but as far as we can tell, had nothing to do with 'the incident'. Finally, two tired little toddlers about to embark on lunch - also with an alibi for the tragedy.
Happy President's Day to all those Presidents out there.
