Thanks Martha,
Poppy was killed by a coyote, but we did have one of our younger flock that died for no apparent reason. You're right though, I know she had a beautiful life filled with love, attention and treats! I'm just sad that she isn't here anymore.
Sorry for your loss too. And...
I just lost my very favorite chicken from my first ever flock. I cried all afternoon and then couldn't sleep all night. I kept going over the day, trying to go back and do things differently. Sending love and light. You are allowed to form attachments to the things that touch you're life...
