I renamed my chicken farm from “Chicks n Nuggets” to “Gaia’s Chicks n Nuggets,” shortly after I made my page because Gaia was always my designated Chicken Chore Helper.
This morning after working a 13 hour night shift, I came home to find her very unwell.
The last year or so she’s had a lot of “sick spells,” but in my heart, I knew today was different.
I had to say, “goodbye” to her this morning. We got to the vet 30 minutes before they opened. And the vet and I carried her in on a stretcher because she was too weak to walk.
I have shared a several pictures of Gaia helping tend to the chickens. And she always enjoyed it.
Sadly, this year she was only able to come out a couple times. Her arthritis made it difficult for her to enjoy the outside and the chickens.
She was the sweetest soul I have ever met. The bestest girl anyone could ask for.
I apologize in advance if I don’t reply to comments or messages for a couple days.
I’m mourning the loss of my 3rd baby in the last 11 months.
