Lovely to see a remembrance for Alice, clearly a special girl who still holds a special place in Gwen's mum's heart. {hug}

We are so sorry to hear that our very own virtual trend settler Supermodel Olive has crossed the rainbow bridge to join the great catwalk in the sky. Who will give us fashion and beauty tips now? A very sad day indeed, and our thoughts are with the Pink Ladies and their mummy who must be missing P Olive so much

Hello Henpals, Iris here as I am the only one who remembers the indominatable Abbie Rose. We even have a photo of her in our office to keep us in check! She certainly was a character, when Elsie,Betty and I came to live with her she had cried for her lost sister Alice so much her voice was always a squeak thereafter. Elsie made a show of cinfidence to her but was soon put in her place and none of us every tried again not even tough Black Betty.

I feel Smidge should have a place here too. Such a gentle, lovely boy and a great
dad. He'll be a hard act to follow.

Lovely to see a remembrance for the lovely Abbie Rose, who our mum says reminds her so much of our very first topenanall Rexie.

Also thank you for posting a memorium for the first hunk on the board, Smidge, who we all would have loved to have met as he was such a sweet and romantic boy. We bet his girls are missing him like crazy.

A very sad month of memories for us, as we mark a year to the week since we lost the inspirational Commander Nugget who all henpals will know as the Instigator of the Chicken Revlootion and the author of the Chicken Manifesto, which is of course the Blooprint for a Better Life for Chickens Everywhere. To uphold Nugget's cause is the oath that all Henpals swear.

Nugget left a massive (even massiver than Toffee, who was MASSIVE) hole in our flock and we still miss her every day, even raw cadets like me and Tiggly who never even met her.

Nugget when she first arrived home:

Of course Smidge should be on here, such a handsome boy, I love how you have titled the gorgeous photos of him. He will have plenty of virtual flock to chase about over the bridge {hug}
Commander Nugget, cannot believe it has been a year! Always loved that snoozing photo {hug&kiss}

Posh of the Spice Girls passed away last night. From day one she became top hen without even a fight other than a "get out of my way" beak butt when it came to feeding LOL. Sadly she lost the crown to Scary last year. My earliest memory is how she would tell the others when it was time to roost, and when timid Ginger was too afraid to go in the coop, she decided to cuddle up to her in the open run instead {hug} She never did figure out how to come down from the high rise balcony, often crashing into the wall and feeder, prompting me to rush in and pick her up off the shelf before she jumped and put her down on the ground ... teaching her a new trick - she would actually come to the edge of the shelf so it was easier for me to pick her up, just like in this photo when she was showing off her new shiny plumage after the moult.

RIP Posh - Sep 2013 - Apr 2015

Sad news .Two girls flew over the bridge last evening and over night.
TT -Purple and pink R/Leg (Two Tone ) Died in the dog cage in her sleep after putting up a fight for her life which she was never going to win. She had a good short time with me as she only arrived this year from Chelmsford , Fresh Start For Hens . Lovely chicken which did not have long with me , but still managed to make her mark.

Yesterday evening as I was shutting them up I checked the Med Ward for any girls sneaking in for a sleep over upgrade.
TT and Bloomers was in there up till 6.00pm . door was open till 7.30pm. Went to fat fighters and when I checked -
1 ring R /leg orange , ginger , (original group from Alysbury ) was dead -still warm in the corner of the nest box. Beautiful girl with no obvious cause of death . I tried to resuss but to no avail. A very sad loss . Although not a particular attention seeker , she was a well known follower of treats and shovels. Will miss her as not many originals left now . She slept in cockerel a dood1e Hall so now looking empty.

Bye girls fly high and sleep well.
Bob
