We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Simone the White Ranger, who has tripped over the Rainbow Bridge just in time for Christmas where she will feast on Roast Mealworm and All The Trimmins with the rest of the illustrious Henpals

White chickens always reminds us of our very own Casper, who we never got to meet but we know Mum still misses, so we will say a special prayer for Simone and all our white henpals wherever they are

Condolences to the flock of Marian and Red {hug}

Hi , sad news again , so early in the year .
`Club` my white hen with dodgy claws died today at 11.00 am . I had given her a cuddle at 9-10 am and new she was ready to fly the bridge. Feed her sweet corn and a drink and a dose of Metacam and Baytril , knowing she was dying . Sad but she had a good life before I had her and with me . Can never complain about a thing she did. I will miss her in the garden . A good age of 5 years plus .
Fly high and pass on my wishes to the flock of Penelope and Red and all the chocks gone before you .

The Pink Ladies are deeply sad to announce the passing of their little brother Barney-Barnes today of pneumonia. He lived up the big house in mums bedroom so she must have loved him very much

Hi all , Another hen as flown over the bridge yesterday Monday , 04/02 / 2019 at 19.15 pm. She was one of the hens that I bought at an auction . Again no problem just old age caught up with her . she was a visitor recently to the dog cage with Evil and managed a few months back in the garden with the flock . She had a white ring on her leg .
Having an aged flock now I am expecting more of these posts , hopefully not for a while .
Buried at work in veg patch .
I will miss her she was not a stranger to the back door for treats .

Hi all , well as expected after a slow decline in health CHAMP , my small bantam boy rescued in Nov 2012 died in the kitchen at 12.00 pm today.
He died in his sleep exhausted from his long and well traveled life .
His wake up call in the morning , his perch on my hand his position he held in the flock and the smallest best defend of the garden .
I am missing him already , but as a chickens life went he had a very good run.
Fly high and say hi to the flock , including Penelope and Red .
CC is waiting for you.
Sad day again for 2019 .
Last of the three amigos.

Another loss in the flock of Penelope and Red.
Cockoo Maran yellow ring one of the three I had , Died this morning .
She was alive and seemed ok when I let the flock out .
I saw her feet up in the air in the saw dust bath . She had been enjoying her self as she was sprinkled in saw dust . I believe (or like to believe ) that she had a heart attack whilst enjoying her morning bath. I urpose if you have to go it is not a bad way .
A sad loss in the flock .
I have another 2 on the sick list and believe one will be flying soon .

You're right Bob: That's a pretty fine way for a happy hen to go - free and enjoying a dust bathe. Lucky girl to find a home with you.

Sorry to hear about Champ too.

Hi as expected Blue ring no. 002 died Friday / Sat night . She had her body shut down and no amount of attention or med`s could help her . She was pretty close to the 4 year mark for hybrids . The thing I do not understand is that they know that hens that are hybrid live a shorter life , yet they do not change the breed`s .
Suppose the need is not there to force a change .
So fair well to another hen in the flock that had an extended life be it short.
Flock of Penelope and RED.
PS she was a dark brown of the Red clan .

I think hybrids are designed to lay more eggs, that's why they often dont live so long. Farewell BlueRing 2
