Thanks Luke and fancy. She was my favourite little lady

A sad night for me last night. Hubby went to lock the chooks up and came back to the door and said you need to come out here. He had my beautiful Chooka. She had passed away. He said she looked like she was a sleep and he bent down to pat her and realized she had passed. Chooka was my first chicken and I got her when I lived in the city still. At the time I only had 4 ducks. The neighbour behind us had bantams and was moving and could not take them. Hubby said no chooks until we find a place in the country. Well I could not bare the thought of her going to the pet store so I put her in with the ducks .She loved our drake Fuzzy and would sleep on his back at night, They hung out all day together. I think she thought she was a Muscovy. Fuzzy was killed by a dog 4 years ago and poor chooka was lost for months. I have had chooka 9 years but I know she was older as she was a full hen when the neighbour gave her to me. She now has a special spot in the garden beside her Fuzzy. RIP my dainty little girl. You will be missed.

So sad Satay. Very sorry for your loss

I am sorry you lost your favourite hen Satay. But she had a good long life with you. She was a very lucky chicken.

 

[satay]

Thank you both

Poor little chooka, sounds like she had a good innings though. Sorry for your loss Satay

Good luck with your hatch Ash, I'm looking forward to seeing your ara babies. How blue were the eggs?

Interestingly, the colours were no better or worse than my own eggs.
(I have been breeding solely for egg colour for years)

Oh dam!! That's crazy.

lol true that. Specially the second time as they got lost and I had to go find them.

My sister rode a little pocket rocket into a barbed wire fence, got pretty mangled in it as well.
Luckily for me I'm just to co-ordinated to crash

!!!!

Is that why you drop the eggs?

Sorry to hear that satay. She sounded so friendly. At least she had a long happy life
