My pekin hen Henry “Henrietta/Diva Duck” just passed away.
She seemed fine one moment and was gone when I went to check on her.
She was arthritic, blind, and 14 years old so I’m pretty sure this is age related. Her mate Olaf passed away about a month ago, fairly suddenly too but I had a feeling his heart had been losing strength for the past year, he was a 10 year old Jumbo pekin.
Henry was my very first bird and I miss her, her squeaks, her nuzzle attacks, her diva ness, but I’m proud she lived such a long full life. Rest well Ducky Girl
One of my favorite pictures of Henry and Olaf.
