| Pretty picture for those who don't want to see the dead chook |
Our chooks are (were) fickle creatures. Whenever we had visitors they would go on strike from laying. We would be getting an egg a day but as soon as the visitors came they clamped up their egg laying hole and wouldn't let a thing pass until the visitors had gone.
The last lot of visitors must have been the final straw. We didn't see an egg for 3 months. And then Penelope popped out two, and then keeled over and died.
She's been double-bagged and put into the garbage bin (no hanging on the rear-view mirror Linny and Kati). We think it was old age, and the excitement of getting out two eggs was just too much after a three month holiday!
Keith is still hanging in there. I think she's enjoying ruling the roost now that the bully Penelope has bitten the dust!
