Some of you know we were struggling a good while with our little Dorothy.
She had been eating fine but not putting on weight for a while. She had at one time had IB but had survived and this naturally left her weak when the weather got cold and damp. This last year was particularly hard on her. Today she collapsed in the yard and I managed to find her. I washed the mud off her face wrapped her in a towel and took her inside where she passed away in my arms. She had been out enjoying the first of the sunshine and had eaten fine today. But managed to get her head caught in the fence a few weeks ago and didn't seem to rally well after that incident. We will miss her as she was a charactor and always under your feet and wanting to be involved with everything you did.
I will miss her funky eggs ( IB eggs are usually funky shapes and weak.)
She was a rescue hen and spent 3 happy years here with our girls and her two sisters Agnes and Florrence. They seem to miss her already.
