Since my last post on this thread, we lost Wynette, my last original Marvin Stukel hen, who was almost 9 years old, Sissy, a 7 year old Belgian D'Anver and Mary Jo, daughter of Atlas to some mysterious something (no symptoms other than loss of appetite) and today, we are burying my oldest hen of all, my McMurray-descended Barred Rock hen, Amanda, hatched March 13 years ago. She has been crippled for years, but was laying a few eggs every year and last produced a few in April 2019. Tough old gal, with a world-renowned thunker (Beak of Death). She was the QUEEN! We are so sad today.
This was Amanda in her prime in 2010. I want to remember her this way.
