Stan the Man will crow no more

When we lost 20 chickens, some people thought "It's just a chicken" BUT IT'S NOT! They are my Babies!!!!!!

I lost 12 baby chicks due to a horrible horrible disease, and I bawled for days. My family told me they were sorry it happened but, they didn't really understand. All those "chickens" were my babies and my little buddies.

I know, it is so sad when you loose chickens. They are very much pets and friends.

They really are.

They really are.

They really are, I know, my chickens are more excited to see me than my kids are.
I just step into the backyard and they run to me as if I am their world. It is so cute
and I just love it. I lost one of my girls last year due to the heat wave and it was so
sad to loose her.

I feel like a mommy duck when I go out to feed my babies. They all come running, and follow me everywhere.

Losing an adult is even harder I think ( even though babies are so cute), I lost my white silkie, who was my therapy bird, last January. I cried and still put fresh flowers on her grave every week.

i know exactly what you mean- i can name every one i have lost, and see their little faces- this year has been the worst, but i wouldn't trade knowing and loving them for anything- they are very much family, and DH seems to understand to a point- but my heart just shatters when i lose one- and when someone here loses one, especially like Stan, its as if he is part of our family too.

I know what you mean. My girls are very much family to us. Even my husband thinks so. Some people put up a fence and put a few
dogs in their backyard, we put a flock of chickens. My girls are such a joy. Some of the chickens here on BYC make the Foul Of Fame
and Stan the Man was one of those. He has a big personality and was the roo that everyone would love to have.

I shut a gate real slow and my Japanese bantam put his head in it and I accidently barely compressed his skull. He started doing the Spazz thing everywhere and i grabbed him and held him still in my arms and noticed how much he meant to me! I sat there and rocked back and forth with his little body crying over him. I knew people saw me, but I didn't give an eggnog. Lol

His mate died from stress/raccoon. She's was so depressed that she literally gave herself to the coon!

RIP. Stan th Man and Renji!
