One of our Hennies

died during the night.

Richard found her

when he was letting out

the Parade of Chickens

this morning

Her name was "Sunny".

She was named after "Sunshine".

Sunny was one

of the few Big Chickens

that we have.

When we were out and about in the yard, she'd peck

on a Human Companion's Leg,

as if to say:

"Would you hold me?"

She loved

to be held.

In recent weeks,

she had problems with her Eyes.

One Eye dilated

and the other didn't.

We didn't know why,

but we knew something was not right.

We wonder

if she had problems

with the heat

because of her size.

We will miss her.

Freddie the Rooster was upset.

Life and Death

and

the Circle of Life

seem ever present

on this Little Farm.
