Goodbye Sweet Holly

It is with great sadness that I tell you that we had to put our sweet Holly down this morning. We are going to miss her so much. She was always there to greet us and follow us around the yard. Unfortunately, she seems to have been sick for awhile. She wasn't laying, but we thought she was broody and molting like Sabrina. The last few days were very difficult. She just wasn't getting any better no matter what we tried. This morning she couldn't get up and could barely hold her head up. We did not want her to suffer any longer. Even though we will miss her, we feel peace that she will no longer be suffering.

Hugs,
Jenni

"Free Ranging" Time

As we approach the end of October, we have been allowing the girls a little more "free ranging" time. They love to wander the yard in search of tasty treats. We absolutely love our girls. With the cooling temperatures, we will once again find ourselves with an afternoon cocktail in the backyard while the girls, and Biscuit, run free. However, it is time to thoroughly clean the coop. I guess we will get to that this weekend. In the meantime, enjoy a few snapshots of Holly (Buff Orpington) and Sabrina (Copper Maran).

Holly is sneaking into the garden.

Sabrina is looking beautiful as always.

Do you own chickens? Do you want to own chickens? Leave us a comment here. We'd love to hear from you.
