Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

I just can't get on the anti amazon band wagon. It would be wonderful in many ways to return to local shopping but I can't fault their service.

I completely understand. I just try my best to have a small travel distance for the goods that I consume.

I heard from a person I know who was in Catalonia where I used to live a while ago. Naturally I asked about the tribes. This person doesn't know all the chickens names, where they live etc, but they do know Fat Bird and a couple of the others. Fat Bird is dead apparently. I'm not sure when she died during the last eighteen months but it was over six months ago when this person visited Catalonia.
They say there are fewer chickens than there were so I'll assume others have died to.

Some of you may not have heard of Fat Bird. It's fair to say she's had much publicity here on BYC and her life story stretches over a decade of living. I would have liked to have been with her at the end of her life. I knew her for over a decade and spent more time with her than I have with any other creature since I was a child and that includes humans. Unlike my human experiences, I could happily have spent another decade or more with Fat Bird.

Of course there are a lot of pictures in memory of a truely extraodinary hen I was lucky to be a friend to.
I don't want condolences. Just think about her from time to time.View attachment 3310181View attachment 3310182View attachment 3310183View attachment 3310184View attachment 3310185View attachment 3310186View attachment 3310187View attachment 3310188View attachment 3310189View attachment 3310190View attachment 3310191View attachment 3310192View attachment 3310193View attachment 3310194View attachment 3310195View attachment 3310196View attachment 3310197View attachment 3310198View attachment 3310199View attachment 3310200View attachment 3310201View attachment 3310202View attachment 3310203View attachment 3310204View attachment 3310205View attachment 3310206View attachment 3310207

Hello again Fat Bird. You may not know but I am a big fan of you.

Shad, If I remember correctly, you were treating her as you were leaving Catalonia.

Fat Bird! One of the shining starlets of the Egg Song/Escort article! Always happy to see her!

She was having some crop problems but we got that sorted before I left.

That Sod's Law Perris mention went active again today. Just had time to get the coops cleaned out before the rain hammered down.

Well, it rained hard last night. When I went in the coop before work, it looked like I had not made any repairs at all post-hurricane.

The weather recently has been pants. Flash flooding near here yesterday because it rained so hard. I hate poo picking during a downpour; it's possibly the worst thing of all in chicken tending.
