RIP Merida


Ginger (L) and Merida (R)

When I went out to open the coop this morning I found my favourite chicken Merida dead.  Totally unexpected as she was just over a year old.  Yesterday she was free ranging round the garden despite the pouring rain.  When I closed up last night all 3 were snuggled up together.  This morning she was curled up by the door.

I'm hoping it was just one of these things and the other 2 are ok.

RIP my brave wee Merida :-(

    Yes sometimes things like this just happen...no reason or rhyme. x

    Aw, loss is always hard. Chickens though, as you very well know, are a complete law unto themselves. Hope others are fine and live to a ripe old chicken age :)

    Aww ... so sad. It's always such a horrible shock to open the door and find a chicken dead when there is no apparent reason for it. It's happened to me a few times, and usually at this time of year.

    Sorry to hear of your loss. It's hard to lose an animal any time but particularly when its unexpected like that. I hope the other chickens aren't too upset. x
