Caroline, Sweet Caroline (Update, Post 21, Feb 27)

I'm so sorry for your loss of Barb, and I pray that Caroline will make a recovery.

If it makes you feel better, in some way, I just recently lost all three of my silkies. One died in the coop amidst the late hours of the night, one got taken by a hawk when, unbeknownst to me, the coop cover got blown off, and my favorite of them all, Isabelle, eggbound while I was at work. I blame myself for all three deaths, but there's nothing I can do, now.

You are in my thoughts, Speckledhen.

Thank you so much, Hannah. I'm so very sorry for your losses as well. We do our best, don't we? But we can't work magic. It is what it is. We do our best for them and hope to ease their exit from this life to whatever extent we are able.

Beautiful Caroline will leave an empty place on your mountain Cyn...she is such a presence there. And sweet Babababarbara....that wonky comb and girl. I miss Athena terribly and so does Lancelot, he has not been eating right since she passed away so I am getting him some special treats on my grocery trip this weekend. This has been a horrible time Cyn....both here and at your place but Spring is coming.

Spring is coming? Are you sure? This year, I have my doubts. Worst winter I remember since being here, and that includes the one when we had lots of snow. This year with the near zero night temps and high winds was much harder to deal with than plain old snow.

Amen indeed. I wish I had not lost my girls, but I did. It cant be helped now. All I can do is...

Look forward to heart-healing spring chickies.

Thank you. I find that they do my heart the best healing because I feel less horrible, taking care of something so delicate that relies on me. Helping them to grow into big, healthy, happy clucks makes me feel less like a let-down to my girls, knowing that I raised a clutch of delicate chicks.

Anyone who cares as much as you do and tries to keep them healthy and safe should never feel horrible about anything to do with your flock.

Than you, Speckledhen. Means a lot to me. The same goes for you, in my opinion.
