    Absolutely love your post. Therapy chickens are a solid part of my life. My 11 year old Ethel died last week so this morning the post office delivered 4 precious 2 day old babies. Big smile on my face. Thanks for sharing your beautiful babies !

    In memory of Little Red Haired Girl

    Sending you a huge and gentle hug, Valerie, even after a year. My 11 year old Ethel has started her final journey and it is devastating for us. She was a pet and sat on my husband's shoulder when we watched TV at night. People don't realize what individuals they can be. LOVE the video !
