Silkie Health concerns

Yesterday good ol Nugget found a forever home. A friend of ours saw an ad in the paper for someone wanting to buy a silkie rooster. Apparently this guy had renters who let their dog out into the chicken run and the dog killed his old rooster. He said his 16 bantam hens had surrounded the dying rooster protecting him from any further harm. From what my husband has told me, this man spoils his chickens alternating between white, wheat, and whole grain bread; fruits and veggies; along with the flock raiser. The chicken run is approx 100'x120'. He had my husband go over how to trim his eye fuzz and how often and all the extra care he needs. He kept asking "are you sure you don't want anything for him?" In return my husband replied "My wife will just be happy he's going to a good home." He actually came by my work before calling this man to clear it with me first. I wanted to go with to meet him during my lunch break but I think my husband was afraid that I'd start crying. I hear the Phantom crowing still; I must miss him. I'm so glad I was stubborn and waited til we found the right person.

Oh, I am SO happy he found a nice forever home! And one with birds of his own kind!!! That is wonderful!

I know you miss him. I certainly would too. I hope your heavy heart can heal soon.

Oh I am so so happy for Nugget! And thank you for sharing him with us all these months. I have enjoyed following his progress and watching him heal.

Take good care of yourself and if you ever take in another chicken and need help, you know where we are. Hugs to you...

Bittersweet ending but, I hope Nugget will be happy in his new home and maybe the new people will send you updates.
