Thank you all so much for your nice comments
. It's been an interesting process, I still find myself missing her and being sad her life was so short. I'm also very grateful that the time she was here was peaceful and safe. I think it would be nice if there was some sort of thread for people to share stories of special chickens that have passed away, as I know there are lots.
We went back to the feed store today and picked up two of what I'm assuming are her hatch mates - lively ones that seem very healthy. Kind of an ode to Babe... I wanted to see what she would have grown up to be. There was a very small one that obviously wasn't doing well and I didn't take it. It wasn't being bullied and was walking, but it was pretty clear it was failing to thrive. I feel conflicted about not taking it home, but I also feel that cleaned out exhaustion that grief leaves you with, and I just don't think I could go through that again right now. I hope that baby does okay, the woman said she would keep an eye on it and take if out if it needed it.
