    Gosh, you made my cry again, and you're right, of course. I've been through it with both human and animal loss, as has almost everyone. It just feels so awful in the thick of it, and no matter how many times you go through it, you always seem to forget just how awful. Thanks for understanding.

    I'm so sad I'm almost at the point of calling in sick for work. Has anyone else experienced this with their favourite/last remaining/most awesome hen dying? It's ridiculous, and I wonder how long I will feel this way...:(

    Cute. Lots of options, but I think I'll wait for now. Still missing my girl too much. 12 years is a long time, and she was half house chicken, so always around.

    They look great! What's their lifespan, on average?

    kattabelly: Do you have bantam Sussex and if so, would you recommend them?

    Devastated beyond belief

    Yes, that's what I would have attempted, but as you said, you don't know the circumstance. Very sad.

    How are d'Uccles in your experience? I'm from the Netherlands, it's easy to get them here. They look funny, that's a plus.

    Thank you, it's sort of automatic for me, I'm afraid. Still in doubt if I want chickens again. Maybe a different breed? Can you recommend any docile, sweet breeds? I know there's plenty of suggestions out there, but not everyone agrees:)

    Thank you both for your response. I do miss her terribly, she was 12, it's very quiet all of a sudden. And of course the blame game; what could I have done differently? Oh well...

    I'm reminiscing about my silkie that recently passed... One of the things she did was tidbitting when I came home and she seemed happy I was back. She tilted her body to one side, threw sticks and branches on the ground, clucking very loudly. It went on for quite a while:)). Anyone recognize this?
