Sad day
I spent a pleasant couple of hours drawing with a group of boys in Juvenile Hall.
But when I got home I discovered one of the chickens was dead on the ground. I have no idea what happened. The other five were up in their roost, already asleep, but Rachel, one of two Rhode Island Reds, had obviously died several hours earlier. I couldn't find any marks of a skirmish so I don't know what happened. She was only eleven months old.
That was our first lost chicken and we're distressed.

sorry for the lost. I love the drawing of the butterfly and the style of the words
ReplyDeleteOh no. How mysterious and sad.... I'm sorry for Rachel, and I'm sorry for your distress.
ReplyDeleteso sorry. My sister has chickens too and she's had a mysterious death or two.
ReplyDeleteThank you all. I never dreamed I could become so attached to a chicken! I really miss her....
