RIP My Little Pheobe

Tonight, I was walking my horse out after a hard ride. As we came around the corner of the garage I see my EE Rooster, George, chasing something. OMG it is Pheobe, my little dark brahma bantam hen that I just recently posted pictures of.

"No George," I screamed, but my little girl ran towards the one she was familiar with, me and right under the hooves of my horse. It was horrifying - she was pushed by his hind hoof right under his front hoof. I couldn't move quick enough to save her.

I had just spent the entire morning with her inside with my Mom and Dad, (OK so I am 40 and my parents are 77 and 76 and we have chickens in our house). Her little friend Chleo, was so frantic, running around the pen trying to find her. I cried with her.

Bye my little girl....We'll miss you....

 

Pheobe and my Chleo, were always together - best buddies. I would bring them into the kitchen and set them on the rocking chair. They would flutter down and walk around the kitchen, Chleo the "ham" and Pheobe, a more reserved but talkative girl.



Here they are together....

Thank you for all of your hugs...
