Snowy R.I.P
« on: September 18, 2011, 19:07 »
Brother in law very kindly helped Snowy to a better place. I don't know her true age as she belonged to someone else, but she had stopped laying. She went blind, so slept rather than eat and lost weight.
She is now buried under the gooseberry bush. The other girls are very quiet.
Don't know why she went blind, all of them free range together, but she will be greatly missed. This is the first time I have been able to bury a hen, there are no foxes around here.

it was probably the kindest act you could have done for her although I'm sure you may not feel that at the moment. just take comfort that she had a happy life with you and is now free from pain xx
Staffies are softer than you think.

What a shame, but well done on having the courage to decide to do the right thing for Snowy.  Just remember what a great time she had as a backyard chicken compared to a commercial bird.  She'd have told you how great life was and thanked you if she could have.
