She was very lucky to have you and I bet she knew itI miss having cornbread. Jeanette used to make that, when she had me come over for dinner. This was the last time I could say goodbye RIP to my friend. Her funeral picture.

Please don't loose hope. Up until this last hatch of Clover's I was overrun with roosters. Not counting clover's chicks, between the incubator and broody hens I had 65 hatch. None of them were placed before 3 to 4 weeks, some older. Thanks to them being Marans, and Marans mixes the boy's showed themselves early and when people inquired wanting mostly pullets and i'm staring at a huge group of boys I was honest with them. It took some time but I managed to place almost all of them. Clover's babies are now 3 1/2 weeks old and I can breathe finally. She has 7 and if there are any boys it may be 1, but while it has a tiny bit bigger comb then the others, there is absolutely no wattles yet, and it is a pure Marans. That is the biggest tell with them, early wattle growth along with a comb so my gut is saying its a girl too. IT IS ABOUT DANG TIME!! I feel better now as Holly could potentially have her first chick hatch today. Of the 10 I set her with she has 9 remaining, 1 of her own which is the potential first hatcher as its 24 hours ahead of the 8 silkie eggs with her. She was supposed to be the final broody of the season, but momma hen vanished on me. I kept taking the eggs she was trying to hide in her old nest and she changed spots. I think she started laying on the hill, she's done it in the past. I have not seen her in a week, but my neighbors have saw her twice early in the mornings. If I can catch her when she is off that nest I will stalk her back to it, if it is reachable. Right now, everything has bloomed out and even though I've sat and combed the hill with binoculars I've found no trace of her.
That may well have something to do with your wife my friend
Gosh that sounds awful. Migraines can be debilitating. I hope it continues to recede as the day goes on.
What a beauty!
