Sally's GF3 thread

My sweet little Pippy passed last night. She had been dealing with salpingitis for over 15 months. I'd read the average lifespan after laying a lash egg is 6 months.

Pip was way above average in so, so many ways. Her comb was "above" average at 5 weeks.

She liked to perch on my shoulder and tell me secrets.

Rest in peace, my sweet little Pippy. Fly high and free.

So sorry! She was beautiful!

Pippy was a beautiful girl who was lucky to have such a caring owner.

Be free pretty Pippy, free range to your heart's desire!

I am so sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry to read about Pippy! You have some terrific pictures of her!

Thank you. The other two Bielefelders have seemed to be looking for her at times. Toward the end, they often sat with her.

Squeak, one of my two remaining Bielefelders, sat on my lap this afternoon. She doesn't like to be touched, so she sat there and I told her how pretty she is and how much I liked having her visit me.

Most of the chickens will sit around me or peck at the garden dirt on my pants, but they don't get up on my lap.

I picked/cut up 16 cups of rhubarb today. I'll make jam with it tomorrow.

Rhubarb is a vegetable, but we treat it as a fruit. Maybe to make up for treating tomatoes as vegetables? Botanically, those are a fruit.
