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.
Only other chicken people can understand how empty my heart is right now. My husband tries to understand. He won't admit it, but I know Lil'Bit was his favorite too, even though he says he can't stand chickens.
I'm so sorry. I know that horrible feeling of losing a special one. I'm always grateful to have had them for a little while and even when they are gone, a little of them stays with me in my heart. Blessings to you and DH...
