WitchHazel Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Delilah, the last of my 3 original hens, died whilst dustbathing under the pampas grass. She was a gorgeous Bluebelle, a bit under 4 years old. She'd been slowing down a lot over the last few weeks, although was always bright and alert, so we've been expecting it. It was still a shock to find her, and I' afraid I stood in my garden blubbing like a baby. 'Lilah really was a lovely looking girl, and I'll miss her.

Dolly Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 So sorry to hear about your girl. Sounds like she had a long and happy life with you. And don't worry about the blubbing, I cried for days when I lost my girls, they really are part of the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitchHazel Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks everyone, your comments really help. I'm OK now. We had been partly expecting it, so I'd had plenty of Delilah time over the last couple of weeks and made sure she got the best treats, so I feel I had time to say goodbye IYSWIM Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
