I tried to give you a buzz for advice. I had tilted it a little, they are so small that you can practically put them on their side in the carton.

If you want a serama or need a companion for it, you can always take "Micro."

The spitzies should be pipping tomorrow, so if the serama makes it, it shouldnt have to wait long for a friend.
Micro....what a name!

We were out at the elementary spring concert tonight. Always very cute. DS's class sang songs about cooking. Most kids dressed in chef costumes...... my kid dressed up as one of the ingredients. LOL (Jar of peanut butter & jelly) He brought my M&M costume for a friend so he wouldn't be the only food. Some kids just think differently!

Hello everyone

Bad night here.

After several days of heightened care following finding my favorite hen Pebbles(EE) down in the tractor we separated her and another hen into for special care and feeding(the other hen was just a companion) this afternoon Pebbles took a turn for the worse and she passed away around 5:30 this evening.

Yesterday she was holding her head up curious and able to balance again. I thought she may just make it. She even talked to me a bit yesterday and was so close to being able to stand up again.

I'm going to miss her in the worst possible way and miss her sweet talking to me. Miss her wanting up and jumping up to my arm. My sweet little owl.

Bwawk bwawk!

Goodbye my little Love. My little soulmate.

I love you Pebbles and the flock won't be the same without you. Neither will I.

You were the first chicken that showed me how chickens could surpass an interesting livestock and become a best friend.

Sneaking into the house to beg for tidbits. Always knowing I'd save the best treats for you.

Even a week ago when DH2B and I took out into the garden and dug piles of worms for you because it was all you'd eat those couple days. You running from my hole to his slurping worms like spaghetti.

Words can't express my broken heart and how much I already miss you.

Sweet dreams baby girl. Meet you at the bridge.

At bed check things didn't get any better. We lost another hen, our only second generation blue laced silver hen with amazing lacing. Purple comb. Looks to have been fatty liver disease or possibly heart failure due to fatty liver. Lots of fat deposits she was an extremely healthy hen. It was hot here today but she was out running around as normal. Dead under the roost at bed check.

Thanks caveman. I understand that's why you liked it and I appreciate the support and the hugs. Lord knows I need them right now.

Pebbles was one of my last original hens and although I have a young hen from her from last year she's not the same but has her mom's temperament. Of course I'd just assume have the original.

No idea what killed Pebbles I'm assuming it was some form of cancer as she just kept wasting and wasting. Some of you may remember her crop was slow and then got nasty maybe a month ago. I now believe it was secondary to another problem. I know she wasn't digesting seeds she ate there at the end.

I am so sorry for your loss
It's so hard when they go
They had a good life.

I'm so sorry she's gone from you! It's so hard to lose a favorite. Hang in there the best you can.

@chickendreams24

I wish I could see you in person to give you a real hug. I know how hard it is to lose your all-time fav chicken and that you tried everything to save her. She lived a great life and knew you loved her.
