redhotchick Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Here is a picture of Bella in my garden last weekend. I've had her for 5 years now. She is still perky and loves to get out and have a scratch around the garden. She looked so glossy I had to take a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhotchick Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Bella died today. I thought she was being broody, she often was, so I went to get her out of the nesting box. She had a mucky bottom and was very lethargic. I got a jug of warm water to wash her and have a look, she died whilst I was washing her. I'm a bit tearful but relieved that it was over so quickly for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollyripkim Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Oh how sad, she looked a beautiful girl and sure had a lovely life and as you said quick, but I don't think at the time it helps much as you are going to be sad. Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Sorry to hear about Bella, glad you are feeling a little better today. It sounds like she had a lovely loving home, lucky girl. I love the way black chooks look glossy in the sunshine, Ebony my Pepperpot used to have a lovely shine. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
