I have very good news and very, very bad news. I'll start with good...
Little D (Dove, the egg) is almost ready to hatch. She's active and looking strong, and I am going to start sleeping next to the incubator to listen for pecking/chirping. And she's going to hatch ON MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY!
The bad news is, sweet little Rebel Claire is dead. Old age. I'm happy that she's finally getting some peace, but she was one of my first chickens ever. The injury to her comb probably helped her to her death too. She will always be remembered. She gets her funeral today. Monti and Princess Fluffybutt and Sage and Eye Patch will have some more company. Sigh... Anyway, I wish Dove could've met her, and I wish she could've stayed around for a while longer, but no hen could've held on longer, and I was lucky to have her at all, which I know and respect. Rest in peace, Rebel.
