How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[Winderdear]

I’m so sorry! I had a Welsummer named Coco who looked like Mei. She was also very sweet and died young. You give your chickens a great life!

Thank you so much

I’m sorry you also lost your Coco at a young age too. Do you know what she died of? Did she have any trouble laying?

Not for sure but suspect it was Marek’s.

3 today, Mei, Juin and Août.

Mei, my much beloved and beautiful Welsummer passed away today. It looks like she laid her egg, and then laid down in the leaves of her run to take a dust bath and died there. She was still warm when I found her. I’m devastated. She never even reached her namesake month of May, as she was hatched last June.

I’m grateful for her lovely presence in my life. I’m so glad I started keeping chickens, as I know the short nine months I had with her were well worth all the pain I now feel at her loss. What a treasure chickens can be. They make every day wonderful for me, and Mei was a sweetheart. Adorable, a gentle leader, and she gave excellent hugs. I’ll miss her, and think of her always.

Here is the most beautiful egg she ever laid us:

So sorry for your loss. I know that words are inadequate to express consolation for what you are going through. Maybe she and my Feather Zedd are hanging out somewhere singing their egg songs together. Sending virtual hugs your way if you don't mind.

10 yesterday and 10 today.
The ladies and I are frustrated with all the frost advisory we are getting our way. Fingers crossed for warmer weather (and it staying that way!) next week so the seedling can make their way outdoors as that was the reason I took a couple of days off.

Thank you! That was a few years ago but she was one of the sweetest hens!
