Mourning

Our time with our feathered friend went by much too quickly. Our little chick has passed away today, Saturday May 7th, 2011. Deformed at hatching, the chick struggled on through life, having to be hand fed, watered, and moved around the pen. A few days ago, lil' fuzzy decided to try out it's quickly forming wings. A pinch of hope was added for having it be a flying chicken, but conditions continued getting worse. It lived longer than it would have if we would've let nature take it's course, but it is still sad to lose our little chirper.
We'll miss you little one.
RIP

  2. It's okay Mariss! He's buried at the house, so if the markers that are there right now are still there next time you're here, you'll get to visit his burial site! It was actually kind of sad to hold or see him, so depressed and angry at such a young age. Kind of destroyed the whole thing that all chicks are cute and perfect.
