Hi all,
It is with a heavy heart that I write that one of my backyard chickens has passed away and my one remaining avian companion is now sad and lonely, by himself in his coop. He is very very old, hand raised, a bit iffy with strangers but loves hugs and is extremely friendly when he gets to...
hi all this is a continuation of something I asked about previously ~6 months ago

Hi all,
