Ooooooo.I have a murder-chicken fluffy-butt picture for Friday, stay tuned!
Pyewacket is a head butt cat. And she is strong! If she catches me under the jaw it is painful. Somehow she is careful to avoid my glasses but most of my head is fair game if I am at my desk or in bed.

Christa passed away last night. She didn't give many tell-tale signs of ill-health. I thought she was having a chilly winter rather a sickness, but when I got home from work yesterday she was moving very slowly indeed so I made an appointment for her on Friday morning. She died a few hours later. She seemed heavy-ish in my hand but very thin around her breast bone. The weight was more towards the tail. I'm thinking she may have had cancer in her reproductive organs. I won't pursue a postmortem. She's wrapped in a pillowcase/shroud and in the freezer where she will stay until I have time to bury her.

Although the hens are pets and I take my responsibility for their well-being seriously, I'm at the point now of saying "awwww no" when I find their remains and being emotionally stable through it all.
When Mary's time comes, it'll be a different matter. She's been a friend for such a long time.

Sorry for the loss of your Christa.
Let it be a comfort that you gave her a very good chicken life.

17 months or thereabouts. She was one of the river flood refugees and was already well past her best laying time.
I thought she was one of the rescues. She did allright. I wonder how old she was.
