    One hen in a bonded pair just passed away leaving the other alone.

    My beautiful two-and-a-half year old Mille Fleurs d'Uccle, Marigold, just passed away suddenly, leaving her bonded friend, Kate, a 2 year old Sebright hen, alone.

    Pecking order in a two-hen household

    Hi! I just lost my little rooster, Ollie, a barred Cochin bantam who lived with us as a house pet and family member for eleven years, wearing diapers and coexisting happily with all the other pets. I'm ready to bring home another chicken--a hen this time--and I'd like to raise her as I did...
