RIP Blanche - Our pterodactyl chicken loaf.

Sometimes, I swear that having a favorite chicken is like having a favorite Game of Thrones character...
Please humor me as I share/mourn the loss of a wonderful friend.

Last night, our sweet, fluffy Momma Blanche passed away. It happened so fast. Before sunset, I went out to turn the coop light on for the flock, and Blanche looked a bit pale sitting under the blackberry bushes. I brought her inside for the night and we plied her with treats and snuggles. She met her end a few hours later while snuggling in my 13-year-old daughter's lap.

Blanche was an amazing chicken. Soooo sweet. She'd have excelled as a house chicken. Bottom of the pecking order, and too docile to stick up for herself except when she was broody. Losing her has wounded us. She will be sorely missed.

I am so sorry she is gone. It's always our favorite bird. She was a gorgeous gal, ❤ I do hope your heavy hearts heal soon.

Fly high sweet Blanche

I’m so sorry for your loss. I really loved seeing all the pictures of her. She sounds like she was such a sweet wonderful chicken. She will be waiting for you at that big coop in the sky. I hope you and your family can find so much peace and grace in knowing that you have given her a great life.

Aww. I'm so sorry. I know it hurts. We lost one recently too. They can be so sweet and really become more than just livestock imo. She looked like she loved the family
