I'm so sorry. It always seems to me that my favorite ends up being the one the predator gets, the dog gets, or the disease gets. I try really hard not to have a favorite anymore----but sometimes you just can't stop yourself. My favorite right now, is a blue Ameraucana hen I got this summer at a swap meet (she's so friendly). Oh, did I say favorite? I meant to say LEAST favorite!LOL Sorry, I'm not making light of your pain, I really don't want to admit she's my favorite. Just remember all the cute things about your girl, and smile in her memory.
