Théo and the chickens des Sauches

[Mother of Chaos]

I haven't and won't be much online for a while, my dad had a skiing accident tuesday. He's ok now and back home but there's been a lot of logistics to sort out and still is. I'll be spending most of next week at my parents place, so I won't see the chickens a lot. Unfortunately Murphy's law has a few of them not well again. I'll probably be more available and in the mood to update at the end of next week. In the meantime I hope you and your chickens are all well.

Best wishes to you and your parents in this time. I look forward to seeing your posts again.

If only...
I hadn't been intent to try to make you live without getting another implant.
I hadn't been so sure that in case it happened, a single soft shell egg wouldn't be the one to kill you, that we'd have time to react and take you to the vet.
If only...
I had some magic power to make everything that's going wrong in the world go right.
Tears of guilt could make a difference.
I could be at home to bury you.

Oh, my heart is broken for Laure.

It is not your fault, Manue.

Beautiful memories for Laure. And no way you are to blame she didn’t have a long life. Remember she had almost 2 years of happiness both you and your partner have given her.

So sorry Manue.
Save your guilt for when you do something bad, and use that energy to remember the best times with your beautiful girl.
She lived a good life, it deserves to be celebrated not weighed down by guilt.

I sincerely appreciate all the kind thoughts for Laure. It's been a week now, I'm still processing her sudden death. I am taking a longer break from writing, reading, thinking, and (over)analyzing about anything to do with chickens. Hopefully the desire to do so will come back at some point, I don't know .
In the meantime I did take pictures on sunday, the only sunny day after a week of gloomy (but much needed) rain, mostly spent at my parent's place.

It's nice to see a post from you Manue.
