I’m sorry to hear. Buffy was such a pretty chicken. If you don’t mind me asking, what happened?

Beautiful lady. Did she hatch those chicks?

I'm not quite sure, but it may have been Marek's.
She had an eye problem for quite a while, but seemed happy enough, but then it seem like her brain started to go.
She was still 'healthy' in that she would still eat and things, but she started not coming out the coop by herself, despite being physically able to.
It was just time to let her go...

Yes, she did!
And was an excellent mother, even if she did try to kill me whenever I tried to do anything with them!
