RIP, Tribble. You didn't know you were small

RIP, you feisty little unproductive bowling ball.

We came home tonight to discover that our banty cochin, Tribble, had a wound at her vent and she was in bad shape. We suspect maggots in poop that was caked around her vent. Or maybe it was related to her internal laying. DH culled her.

We'll miss you, you dumb bird.

That's a beautiful pic of her; I'm so sorry you lost her

We got her a year ago from a breeder who didn't want her because she had a twisted beak. Turns out she was also an internal layer. And a scratch-hogging piggy. But kids loved her, she tolerated them well, and her egg song sounded like a broken spring in a clock (you can't see her but you can hear her here):

Sorry for your loss

She was cute

My sympathies - she sure was a cutie.

So sorry----

RIP dear Tribble

I love her name.
Did she actually have light colored patches on her chest or is that sunlight?
She's beatiful.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
