Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Old Red has passed away, I am rather relieved, poor old girl. Now the only hen of my BIL’s left is Raven. She seems hearty and hale so far.

Blanche is also the same age I would say, she is moulting at the moment.

And it’s been just pelting down rain all afternoon, I had hoped it would stop but it’s now 7PM and still pelting down. I need to bury the old girl, I guess she isn’t going anywhere and can wait until tomorrow. But I wanted to put her to her final rest.

Bye Red, you are with your sisters now.

Old Red! Was she eight? She lived a long life. Was she suffering? I don't recall posts about her acting off or sick. Hugs to you and to Raven, who's lost a compatriot. Rest in peace, Old Red.

Red has been ‘frail’ for a couple of years. My mother calls her ‘the dying hen’ because I always thought she would die.

She would be unwell and then rally. But her age caught up with her.
