In 2020, the week before the Covid shut-down we became home owners- Yay!! So excited to have a home & a little land of our own. With plans to have space for the horses & bottle calves that were always getting brought home to me. Chickens were never my plan, but one day a few months into house ownership the husband came home from work and said “We’ve gotta go pickup some chickens!” He had came across a FB post of an elderly lady rehoming her 2 year old flock, 6 hens of different breeds & 1 silkie rooster.
I swore up & down that I disliked chickens, they were annoying, messy & not worth the hassle. But my Pregnant, SAHM self became SO grateful for those chickens! They gave me something to do during lockdown and a reason to get outside into the sunshine. I’d get so excited for their eggs, especially during all the grocery shortages. We may run out of toilet paper, but we wouldn’t starve!
We would add a few chickens here & there when we’d see another FB post. But then in 2023 I discovered chicken auctions & incubating and the chicken obsession GREW from there and I haven’t looked back.
Of course over the years we had lost most of our original 7 chickens, but I still had my one “Old Lady Chicken,” as I called her. She was my first chicken to ever go broody & hatch babies out on her own. She was spoiled rotten, didn’t follow any rules & really didn’t have to. She was out all the time, usually scratching around in the Horse or goat pen. I never imagined getting emotionally attached to a chicken, but here we are.
Unfortunately, today when I got home from work and started checking on everyone I found her. It looked like she had gone to sleep & just never woke back up. Which is the way most of us want to go anyways.
So here’s to my “Old Lady Chicken,” the last of my Original flock. It honestly won’t be quite the same now, but she planted that seed and we grow from it! 💙

Can’t get anything done with out this pain in the butt trying to sneak attack me. 😒 I see everyone else’s friendly turkeys, but I got stuck with one that has hated me from day one.
