August 30th

Today is a sad day.

Our beautiful Cooper Maran hen,

Ethel passed away.

She and Lucy were 2 of our rescue hens.

The sisters did everything together.

She was 9 years old.

Thank you girl, for letting us

have the pleasure of

raising you.

We will miss you terribly.

💔

She has been getting slower and not eating

and drinking as much lately.

We had been enhancing her feed

and adding oregano to their water.

Oregano is a natural antibiotic

and it aids their immune systems.

It just can't help with their old age issues.

When she ate the gecko yesterday,

I was happy to see that she

may have rallied and was getting back

to her old self.

It wasn't to be.

Lucy and Ethel together.

She was such a beautiful girl.

Now, Lucy is roaming the yard,

probably looking for Ethel.

I'm sure animals

feel grief too.

And then there

 was 1.
