Tove, her death hit me HARD. She was a really good chicken.

I’ve heard so many stories about her over the years. She was clearly so loved.

We have one hen who 13 YO and this winter she stopped getting to the roost in the coop and her balance is diminishing but she is a eager as ever to get out into the yard from the fenced run every morning. My condolences for the loss of Ruthie, barred rocks are our favorite breed.

They're really great chickens. LOVE that you have a 13 year old. I believe Ruthie was 8, and she'd really slowed down, but that give me hope some of my older girls will truck on for years to come!

I’m so sorry to hear about RBG. I’ve enjoyed her many adventures.

Even when news from the farm is sad, I appreciate your wholesome content and puns.

I’m so sorry about Ruth. I’ve always enjoyed her cameos here and on IG.

I also want you to know how much joy your puns bring me!

AC Shilton's avatar

Thank you! I am so glad someone enjoys them because I feel like Farm Baby is going to spend his life rolling his eyes at them!

Beth's avatar

Oh, without a doubt! But we’re still here for them!

So sorry about Ruthie! Her name always made me smile. Maybe she has a daughter worth carrying that moniker forward...

Aw, I'm so sorry about sweet Ruth! I hope she knew what a legion of loving fans she had.

So sorry about the loss of RBG. She was amazing!

Sadly, coyote predation did a number on my wee flock.

Oh noooo. Chickens are so lovely but also, so hard to keep safe.
