Well.
Poor, poor LB. Some kind of fluid kept blocking her nostrils and sealing her eyes shut. I kept helping her and she was getting better.
So I went away for the weekend and when I came back she was dead.
I don't know how to explain the kind of pain I felt.

LB was the most amazing, special little animal I've ever met. Whenever I needed a boost I'd go visit LB and she's cheer me up.
I didn't know what was wrong or how to fix it.
I love, love, love you LB!!
RIP, Little Blackie

I can't even express how sorry I am for LB.

She is in heaven with God now.

Thank you everyone. She was very, very special.
Now,
I don't know which chick to write about, so I'll write about my 1 year old hen, Lala.

Lala was bought for me as a Christmas present. She came with her two sisters. She was very aggressive and was the LNG her sisters always looked up to.
She survived a brutal pine marten attack and is now the leader of the new flock.

A few days after the Pine Marten her and her seriously wounded and sick rooster were living in dog crates in the bathroom.
That night Ickabode (the rooster) died.
About a week later Lala was back, living the coop with her three new buddies. One day Lala flew out of the coop and walked to the front door of the house. I saw her jumping up and down in front of the window waving her wings wildly. The second I noticed her she stopped. We opened the door, she walked that past us and up the stairs to the bathroom and called wildly for her boyfriend. We put her back in the coop.

The next day I was sitting on the computer on BYC and looked through the window to see Lala standing there on a coffee table trying to get my attention.
I let her in the house and she looked all over for her boy. She never found him of course but after that shy didn't come and visit that often. Now she doesn't visit anymore.
A week ago we covered the chicken runs roof because she had a habit of flying out to lay her eggs in the woods.

She's a charecter and I hope you enjoy reading about her and the other chickens.

That was a cute story about Lala. I think chickens are much smarter then people give them credit for. She remembered

where he was and went back to find him. They definately go threw a grieving process. I am glad she has returned to the coop and taken over the leadship.

You have a gift for writing.

Oh no! I'm very sorry to hear about LB.

At least she was very well cared for and loved.
How is Owlet these days? I really enjoyed lala's story. You could probably write a book about your chickens.

Really? Thanks.
I love Lala so much. She's blue colored. What weird is I have 3 blues and they all love people. Does anyone else notice this?

Owlet is great. She's super healthy but I notice she a has a slight parrot beak. She can eat fine but it looks funny!
Owlet hates people though. I think she's still scared I'm going to try and force feed her again.
My favourite memory is when I first cleaned her pasty bum when she was about 5 days old.
I got the crusty poop off and then she lets out this huge fart and a ton of poop comes rushing out of her little bum bum.

It was disgusting but kinda cute at the same time!
