Was a sad day on the farm here today. When I left all the chickens were in the barn hanging out on the stall wall everyone seemed fine. When I got home, I couldn't find Miss Tina.
I searched all over for her. I found her under the kids wagon like she was sleeping, but she wasn't sleeping.
I know some will think I'm silly for getting a little upset over a chicken. But Tina was the first to greet me every day, the first to get the treats, was the lead hen. I really don't know what caused it, there was no apparent trauma, only thing I could find was some yellow gooey stuff in her vent area. All the other chickens seems upset, they didn't even want the spaghetti noodles I took to them this afternoon. She laid the prettiest blue eggs too I do have some chicks from her that just hatched recently I hope she passed on some of her personality. She liked to jump up in my lap if I was sitting in a chair outside. Sorry for my rambling, Thanks for listening. here's a picture of the dear girl from October.
