A death in the coop...
It's a sad day here on our little acre.
I made sure last night that the ladies had plenty of feed and water so I wouldn't have to go out to the coop with my 1 yr old daughter this morning as we are having a few cold days right now. So I wait until my lunch break to go out and check on them. I open the door and see our Buckeye hen has passed.
So I start thinking about the past few days for signs.Saturday, we had 12 of our 13 hens lay an egg. IMPRESSIVE! Not every day does almost every single hen lay an egg. Now, I know who 13 would have been.
Sunday, so I didn't think much of everyone hanging out in the coop, and were all crowded together or hanging out in the nesting boxes.
I called friend who I got the chickens from and she couldn't think of anything that it could be, but said sometimes death happens and keep an eye on the rest. She said that bird was only a year old.
She also was telling me she received her hatching eggs today. I'm excited to see these purple eggs shes gonna have soon!
Hopefully I will have a happier post tomorrow.
