I had to console my wife this morning for quite awhile. Her favorite chicken, a Buff Orpington named Big Boy, she found dead in the pen. We have no clue as to why he died. He was young; no predator had attacked him; and, he seemed otherwise very healthy. What she loved about that bird is that even as a small chick, he loved her to hold him, and he always wanted to be near her: hopping into her lap, wanted to be petted, and going off to sleep. She could take him anywhere, and he would always stay with her. They had a special relationship.

Anyway, I had to bury Big Boy this morning. I buried him by my wife's favorite rose bush.

I'm so sorry, Bruce. I mourn my boys more than my girls. I remember my friend, Ellie, in California had a Buff Orp cockerel, same thing, just found him gone, nothing to point to why. One of my big Suede's sons owned and adored by my friend in Kentucky just died suddenly, no warning at all. She still talks about him years later. Some are just really special. I believe the Orps more than others just tend to drop of sudden heart attacks, even younger than you'd think. I'm surprised that my Suede was going on 6 years old when he just began to go downhill over a 2 month period. I expected to lose him way before that.
Please tell your wife I'm very sorry for her loss.
 
My first foray into ducks hit a milestone. I ordered call duck hatching eggs from the auction on here and the first one has started hatching! Wasn't expecting it for a few more days. I was opening it up to turn the eggs and heard the duckling. On closer inspection, saw the chipped egg. No more turning!
