Woke up this morning to find our lead hen Penny, in her death throws. She had been a bit off colour yesterday, but I was expecting/hoping she'd be ok today. Of the five of them (all ex-batts) she was the one that grew all her feathers back and filled out the quickest, so I'm quite shocked this has happened to her!!!
Needless to say, our youngster has gone off to school this morning in floods of tears, although she rightly said that at least she spent her last days here at the chicken ritz!!!
