Today I lost two hens.
One was found in the main run in the sawdust bath area . No apparent reason . Swollen belly which may heave been the route cause . Single Red ring right leg , returned from the friend at work originally from Fresh Start for hens . 3.5 to 4 years old she had a good second life and was always active in the garden and after treats.
The other was Madame Woo . I thought she would not make it through her illness.
She was ok (alive ) when I came home from work, but after I got up from sleep at 9.30 am I found her dead in the dog cage.
A beautiful hen and she lived a good life again the magic 4 years old mark.

Very sad news to hear of the double loss in the Flock of a Penny and Red. Particularly sad to hear of the passing of a fellow Woo. The Sisters of Woo will chirp laments for her, and we will ask Guru Wiggy to get in touch with her cosmic side and Woo her over the rainbow bridge

We will of course add prayers for our little unnamed Henpal too. Both Henpal sister and Madam Woo will be welcomed back to their new flock by Penelope herself {hug}

Tuesday 10th April - lovely Bella Barnevelder crossed rainbow bridge. Her heart gave out as she came round from a crop operation. Not yet one year old. She was a big, noisy, nosey girl. The garden is so quiet without her.

Henpal condolences to the flock of the Stripey Donkey on the loss of Beautiful Bella Barnevelder. Whilst of course it is terribly sad that she died on the hoperating table, her mummy and flock mates can take some comfort in the knowledge that she was given excellent care and a chance of recovery, which is all we henpals ever want, as well as limitless treats.

Bella can now snack on the Never Ending Nom Noms at Rainbow Bridge {hug}

Hi all ,to add to the heart ache I have been through this last week I lost another girl of fame .
MORNING , my pretty girl that had a broken claw /foot died in the garden against the Cluckingham Palace door . She looked like she had been enjoying the sun rays.
Again the 4 year plus curse that al chickens hate to look forward to . She was a Simon girl , a ped and real hen .
Fly high and say hi to those gone before .
Bob . (When will this stop)
Flock of Penelope and Red.

Oh dear, more henpal condolences called for, and we are very sad to be giving them to the flockmates of Morning, who passed away bathed in the light of the beautiful sun. We're sure that light guided her way across the rainbow bridge and lit up all the faces of long passed friends who were there to welcome her {hug}

Condolences to Morning's dad who is having a tough time lately {hug}

We're ignoring the whole '4 years curse' business - what do these humans know about henpals eh?

Hi , Rocky died this morning between 6.00am when I saw and gave her some meds and 10.00am when I returned to check the flock.
She was famous for rolling her head in circles as her crop was huge and it helped her digested it .
Old age has claimed another hybrid of 4years and a bit.
Quick end to a long lasting girl.
My flock has lost the old characters and the new girls with all the feathers in place have a lot to stand up to .
Fly high Rocky and catch up with the ones just gone .
