My Lovelies -
Our days as chicken owners have come to an end.
Our girls were pushing 2.5 years old and Phoebe (below) stopped laying a few months ago. With the advent of winter, Winnie’s production had also dropped.
Winnie is off on a new adventure; she is currently making the acquaintance of a hen that lost her flock mates to a raccoon attack.
Little Phoebe, however, is no more.
She was a good chicken and our family is thankful for the many, many tasty eggs she produced in her time.
The girls had one glorious last day at La Casa J: they galavanted around the yard, took dust baths in their spot under the stairs, and chased bugs near the compost pile. Then they camped out for a snooze, cozied up together in their nesting box.
Thank you, girls.
