One of the original five hens, Nugget, has been ill for a short time and passed away today. She was a lovely hen, always a little different to the others, and loved being given a bit of attention. She did not suffer in any way and was happy up until the last few hours. We will miss her.Thirteen Stepshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06099048906071900909noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3963276460348846217.post-76649618907337749052011-09-11T10:13:00.001+01:002011-09-11T10:14:24.543+01:00Mystery EggsOk it now seems they have not stopped laying - just wont lay in the coop!
