If I had tossed her out just because she was spent, she wouldn't have been 6, almost 7years old. Just because I chose to be happy about the natural cycle of life opening a space for some other lucky hen at my very top notch chicken village, doesn't mean that see chickens as disposable...
Awe, that would indeed be very sad, I'm sorry. I think I've been very lucky. They do seem to just die around 6. Anything younger would be not normal to me. I had a little runt chicken that died at 2. I babied her as much as I could and then when she passed I was sad but she really wasn't normal...
