And Then There Were Three

For those of you who’ve followed my blog from the beginning, you know we got four fluffy backyard chicks in May of 2009. I chronicled our early days with them in The Hen Diaries. Raccoons, lost hens, a ransacked garden, that beautiful first egg … so much drama!

You can follow our adventures as fledgling chicken-keepers below if you missed it:

Weeks:

We lost one of those girls this week. Emily got suddenly ill last weekend and died on Tuesday. She was our first layer, and I always had a special fondness for her.

Rest in peace, Emily. We’ll miss you.

  1. Rest in peace Emily. In the last year or so, we have lost Olive, Muriel, Abby, Winifred and Louise – all ex battery hens who enjoyed a bit of sunshine at the end of their lives.
