April 6, 2019 Well, it's been almost a year since we moved from Santa Rosa to Ashland, Oregon and I gave up my chickens. The neighbors who brought the property have one of the vineyard workers in charge of my girls now. And I occasionally hear what's going on.
Last July, Fearless went to the Big Coop in the Sky. Just her time, and being 7, she had a good life even though she rarely laid an egg. Fearless took over being Queen of the Coop after Curious had to be put to sleep and she did a good job as dowager queen.
I'm not sure who is running the group now. Gabby was still alive at last I checked and she is the last one of my original group from 2011, but I think Lilly is my pick for head mistress now. She just always kind of had that regal, bossy air. Kiwi would be a close 2nd, but she is a little Buttercup and I think size matters when you establish a pecking order.
I'll have to check in and see how they all are doing. It always chokes me up to think of my girls and the fun times I had learning how to wrangle chickens!!
