Thank you. Yeah, I went in to lock up the coop Sunday night, and he was stiff on the floor under the roost. I buried him in the garden yesterday. And cried -- hard! -- as I did.

It never gets easier when they pass. We get so attached to them. They really know how to nest in our hearts, it certainly is shattering when they pass.

So sorry to hear that, Sally. *BIG HUGS*

I'm doing ok. I see feathers he shed in the coop/run, and I get a gut clench. I know they're his because he was the only one with such snowy white feathers.

Thanks for asking.

It takes time, but even then it's painful. Don't feel afraid to vent if you need to

Yeah my heart really goes out to you. He lived a good life im sure. I’ve found my fair share of birds stiff in the bottom of the coop for various reasons and I know that for whatever reason it’s especially gut wrenching. Like others have said feel free to vent

Took a nasty spill on the ice, bruised/scraped up my leg good. AND I was carrying pails full of water, so got soaked.

My fault for wearing rubber boots without traction, and shorts.

Hope you are ok Wind! Get some rest and stay off the ice!!

 

[fluffycrow]

Ouch! Hoping you have a quick recovery!

Hope it's not too serious of an injury. Get better soon.

Ugh, I hate falls. It's a monthly thing at best on one of the trails to most of my coops. Even worse when it's icy or muddy, even with great traction boots

Sorry you lost your rooster

Hope your leg heals quickly
