Tears On The Farm Today...Farewell....

It happens all the time on the farm and it DOES get easier but still sad.

I KNEW it was EVENTUALLY going to happen...

T's job is to feed our chickens each morning before breakfast.

This morning- this was all she found....SHE WAS DEVASTATED!!!

The chicken house got broken into last night or sometime in the wee hours of the morning.

The door was ajar....The screen was ripped out & we noticed some FAMILIAR foot prints on the side of their house.

The front screen and concrete block were moved and a HUGE HOLE DUG underneath the front door....After the cat was CLEARED OF ALL CHARGES this DYNAMIC DUO was deemed GUILTY!!

Guilty of the murder of our 2 sweet chickens that we incubated, watched hatch and faithfully loved and cared for.

She knows she did something naughty.She won't even look me in the eye."SUMMER" right out of her egg.

The only black chicken born. She was special.Named "Summer" by her mama Aw-BellFarewell Sweet SummerAffectionately named "Rainbow" by mama MyMyGoodbye Dear Rainbow..

You were both loved very much by 6 little kids.

I will admit, I shed a few tears over them IN PRIVATE myself.

There is a time to live and a time to die.

We learned a lot about Gods gift of life watching you 2 start as little dots inside an egg & then come out of the eggs-

What a miracle we got to witness.

Thank you for all you gave us in your short lives.

The giggles, excitement, laughter & now tears.

RIP Summer & Rainbow.
