We came home today to find that our beloved Sally had died. We are heartbroken, especially since it appears that she drowned. The contractor doing some work on our house found her floating in a bucket full of water in our backyard. We didn't realize the danger that a chicken could face with a bucket full of water. We've learned an important and very sad lesson. The irony is that we spent so much effort to keep them safe from predators. She wasn't even a year old, and was our most prolific layer so far. We are going to really miss her.
