Purplemaniacs Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Not a good start to the summer holidays. Found Tikka dead in the cube. She was one of my two green egg laying hybrids. I was shocked when I looked up how old she was. She was five and a half. Not a bad age. Still have two hybrids from that group.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 What a shame but I agree, that's a fair old age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsatroy Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Always hard to lose one of the girls - but she was a great age and you can take comfort from the fact she had a happy life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Thanks everyone. I was shocked at how old she was, time flies by. Now I must have a move around only have two girls in the and WIR. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsatroy Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Sorry to hear about Tikka. I had to let one of my ex-batts go last week. I've had 6 of them since November and she was the second one to go. Always hard to lose the girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Sorry to hear about your ex batt. I think it seems even sadder for ex batts somehow because they get that second chance and if they don't enjoy their freedom for long it seems such a shame. One of my three ex batts only had a short time of freedom but one had years and years. I collect three more on Sunday. Well done for giving your 6 a second chance.

mrsatroy Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Yes, I try and take a bit of comfort from the fact that even if it was just for a few months they were able to dust bath, scratch about, and feel the wind and the sun on their feathers. Hoping to get some more ex-batts in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
