Awll, congrats to everyone. I have no doubt they will continue to be inseparable friends for many years to come. In the pictures and stories you have shared Eve has always been so sweet and enamored with all the animals. The pup is adorable 🥰.
That's very sweet of you to say and I agree.
 
Today is a very sad day. I went out to the coop and found my beautiful Sunny dead on the coop floor under the roost. I bawled like a baby. She wasn't even 2 years old.

Yesterday she was fine, as far as I could tell. I have no idea what happened. I could not bring myself to do a necropsy. Just couldn't. I have her bagged up in the freezer, and I'll bury her in the garden when the ground thaws. I will not throw her away or let the raccoons have her.

She was my lap chicken. (Pip is too, but less so.) Sunny would let me pet her. I petted her when I took out chickie snack yesterday afternoon.

I cried again when I took out chickie snack today, because she wasn't there.

Fly high and free, my beautiful Sunny Girl!

I'm so sorry about your Sunny. She was such a beautiful girl. She is very sweet looking in the picture. I hope there was very little suffering.
 
I LOVE Wellies! Got any egg photos?
I do :) The copper colored one below the BCM egg is either hers or Gingers (I had two) Sometimes they had a bunch of speckles sometimes not, depending on the day.

Beautiful :drool! That's what I love about Wellies ~ the same hen can lay different speckles ~ dots one day & tiny speckles the next time. Our Cuckoo Marans was occasionally that way ~ her eggs were not real dark but she did sometimes give a blotchy or a speckly egg. But one Wellie gives a surprise egg pattern often! I regret never getting a Wellie cuz our Cuckoo Marans was not a good fit for us in egg color or flock temperament.

Our Cuckoo Marans brown egg w/some tiny speckles on this egg ~ wish I had more pics of her eggs but we kept the Marans only a month cuz she was unfortunately a bully flockmate

Those are gorgeous. I loved the speckles so much. My favorite though has to be to be the random oddly “printed” eggs like something went awry in the paint booth 😂 That egg is not dirty at all its just how it came out. Typically this chicken would lay a finely speckled Olive egg but clearly something went haywire.
