One of my oldest chickens died :( She was the sweetest girl

I love my chikins. They are pets, they all (8) have names, and Red, one of my Rhode Island Reds, died the other night. She was probably 7 or 8 years old. Very mature and sweet, would just let you pick her up. RIP Red.

On another note, it feels good having more eggs than I know what to do with when so many people are whining about the price of eggs.

None of your farm animals should ever be named or be pets.

Wish I could still keep birds but the HOA would have a cow.

Chickens are "pets" too.

Tell that to your HOA.

Not just eggs, but farm fresh, free range, organic, heirloom eggs.

The very best. That's shit is almost $9 a dozen in Texas.

Sorry to hear about your chiggun.

I love my chickens like that too. I have two left. 😞

We had a chicken that got to almost 12 years old. She was the only remaining girl of our original 12 chicks and when she died it was the end of an era. Her name was Mugen.

RIP Red.

Sorry.I think when we have generally benign creatures around us, we feel a bond that we can't get with fucked up people.
