devastated...

[Lothiriel]

I'm devastated. Buttercup is gone. She was my big fat BR, everybody's favorite.

Lament for Buttercup
Buttercup, O Buttercup, where is your rosy face?
The softly cooing voice that calms,
The walk that whispers, "Grace?"
Buttercup, O Buttercup, come back to me I pray!
I've had a bower built for you,
That you may come and play.
Buttercup, O Buttercup, I wish you were not gone.
But you are in a better place,
Beloved of my own.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that Buttercup is still alive and makes it home to you.

I'm so sorry! I adore my BR hens, especially my Lexie.

I'm sorry.

I hope my BR chicks turn out to be buttercups.

I am so sorry for your devastating loss. Your tribute to her is eloquent, and I know that writing it and sharing it brings a small measure of closure and comfort.
