Sad News

today i found Little Rosie dead in the chicken pen.  Don’t know what killed her, she was all stretched out on the old sink and her crop was full, so she didnt die of starvation.  Is very sad for me as she was gitting to be so big and pretty.  She had a difficult start in life, having been thrown out of the nest when she hatched, and it was lucky i found her before the other hens pecked her to death.  Now she’s gone..   I will miss her lots, cuz whenever i went into the pen, she’d come up to be picked up and would ride around on my shoulder with me while i fed and watered everyone else.  Now the only surviving baby from Freckles is Little Stumpy and she’s very happy in the pen with Mr Nibbles the rabbit.  I think i’ll just keep her in there till she’s at least six months old, just to be sure she survives.  Hugggggglez and GBU.
