Yesterday night when they went to sleep, she was not well and would not eat. This morning she lay dead in the hen-house.
She is the white one in front.

Witje is dead
This morning I buried my oldest chicken, she was 7 years old and her name was Witje. She did not seem ill yesterday morning. When the farrier was here to trim the hoofs of the donkeys, she came immediately to pick the small pieces of horn. Dogs and chickens love them.

Oh , I'm so sorry about your lovely Witje! I know how attached people get to all their animals. Sending you hugs.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI also need to answer your question about the amount of oil in the carrot cake recipe. Sorry I am just getting back to you.. I was gone over the weekend. Yes. 1 and 1/2 cups of oil. it does sounds like a lot, but that is the way my sister makes it. (I know some recipes only call for 1 and 1/4 cups of oil, but I think they have more shredded carrot or other wet ingredients to balance out the dry ingredients.)
Oh poor Witje! She was a beautiful hen and you will miss her.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAw I'm sorry...even a beautiful chicken after seven years you must have bonded with her. Hugs to you.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI am so sorry about Witje. You must have been very attached to her. How very sad.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm wondering what may have caused this. Is 7 years old for hens? I don't know anything about them. Very curious that she was eating the snippets from the donkey trimmings and then was gone the next morning. Could there have been something poisonous or maybe she ate too much?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm so sorry.
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm so sorry about your sudden loss of Witje! I know how attached people get to all sorts of animals. Sending you hugs. Great shawl above too :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAch ja altijd sneu wanneer een beest dood gaat. Inmiddels liggen er bij ons ook al heel wat kippen in de tuin begraven. Gelukkig hebben wij onze oudste, Bep, nog wel rondlopen hier en zij is inmiddels ook bijna 7, ziet weinig maar gaat lekker haar eigen gang.
