Oh no - thinking of you both, Bob and HW on your losses. {hug} Always so sad when they go over the bridge but it is some comfort to know our feathery friends who wind up in DTL homes are the lucky ones - they are loved and cared for like no other chickens.

Henpal commiserations on the loss of Marge and Pew, who will be much missed by their flocks and by their people too. Although we feel their loss, they will rejoin their lost friends over the Bridge, and so we must remember that our end is their new beginning and happy reunion.

{hug} to all and Hilly and Bob

Terrible news . Nuisance , the wandering girl , wandered off. She was seen out side my house and unfortunately not allowed in garden and was taken by the night fox.
I feel terrible as I believed I had locked her away with the flock.
She lived up to her name and lived a happy life . The pros and cons of free ranging again is top on my mind and this should not of happened as it seems many chances of getting her safe was missed .
Tragic case of my not doing the basics . Night shifts and many other reasons are not being used for my total failure . I will miss this girl as her name suggests . Nuisance fly high and join the flock over the bridge .

It's the quality that counts Bob not the quantity. Nuisance's fate was almost inevitable if she liked to wander off, but how miserable she would have been confined to a cage. Farewell Nuisance.

Lav -my Lavender cockerel Bantam chicken was taken to the vet today at 11.40am . At 12.00 pm he was put to sleep ,leg and wing injection.
He was suffering and not getting any better . throat was stopping him eating ,breathing was heavy and frothy beak. We had a chat and no operation or medication was going to help .
With a heavy heart and a (not to proud to say ) tear in my eye I signed the paper`s .
He will be put in the ground tonight next old friend Penelope .
When trouble head your way you cannot avoid it. He was ill before the 11.05.2017 .
He had a good life and his mates will continue in the garden reminding me of him for long time to come.
I tried but was not able to save him.
It is now just getting at me writing this and speaking to SHMBO .
Not had a chicken up set me like this since Penelope /Marian died.
Hope this is the last I write on this thread for a long time to come.
Fly over the bridge and crow your heart out.
Bob

We are devastated to learn of the passing of one of our favourite Henpal Hunks, the gorgeously rebellious Lav. {hug} To Lav's girls who will be missing him like crazy, as will Lav's daddy.

Also our condolences on the sad passing of Nuisance, who died doing what she loved best - being an independant adventuring free spirit. She died with her boots on. )b(

Hi all, very sad news .PARKER driver for my wonderful Penelope ,my favourites and one of the older founder members of my flock was found dead in the garden . He was not marked in anyway and did not seem troubled when let out this morning .
Presume old age /heart attack , heat or some unknown cause. Shocked to find him when put the flock away before work.
He will be missed by neighbours in the morning and will be singing with Lav , Billy in the morning . Bye and fly high over the bridge.
Bob ( in shock and not sunk in.)
