Albert has joined the Choir Eternal
He’s been looking sorry for himself for the last few days. If I scrambled him an egg, he’d perk up for a while, but this morning he was dead in a heap in the chicken run.
Farewell, Bertus! Not my favorite chicken – I have scars from his young aggressive days.
That leaves Sam, hatched on the 4th of July 2019. That makes him a pretty elderly boy, but I feel bad for him. He’s a very sociable chicken and I forever hear him chattering to a flock that is no longer there.
I was going to give chickens a rest for a while, but I’m going to call around tomorrow and see if I can find him a couple of girls. Let him go out with a bang.
Good weekend, everyone!

One more time:
Splurge a bit and get him an Indio Gigante as a buddy.
You won’t have to worry about a fox getting him.
When an English fox sees his buddy, foxy will be LONG gone!
