I'm so sorry to take so long to get back to thank you all for your lovely messages in tribute to our girls.
. You are all such wonderful, special people. I always hoped and thought that it would be many years before I found it necessary to post here. Sadly, it came much sooner than I though.
Helen - thankyou.
Heidi - We feel the loss of Henrietta and Lottie greatly as they were are two original hens. Losing the baby girls hurt has so much too in a different way. We watched the eggs eagerly wondering when the big event would be. We were so proud of our girls for sitting so beautifully and attentively on the eggs. We were there the day they hatched and held them in our hands.
MoochNNoodles, Karen, Susan and DicknLeah - thank you for your kind thoughts
Sharing our garden with the chickies was wonderful and I wouldn't swap it for the world. Watching them wander around, clucking away to themselves and scratching in the dirt was lovely. Listening to them cluck excitedly, so proud of themselves when they laid an egg was charmingly funny
Stephanie - Stephanie chickie was such a little character and apt to get herself into trouble now and again. I saw her the day before the terrible event, trying to see what three of the others were doing with their heads stuck down a hole they had dug. To try and get a better view, she pecked the others on the heads to get them to move.
Yes they can peck eggs as much as they like now without annoying humans in the way trying to fool them with fake eggs (their golf balls)
Thank you Eileen and Cat lover - how lovely that you raised a foundling sparrow. I was always rescuing little abandoned birds when I was young too.
Nicky and Chris - thank you
