Today’s Post Is Not Super Good

October 10, 2012

Today’s post was going to be super good. It was. So good it would make you both laugh and cry. And want to read more. And never stop reading. Ever.

Week old Cochin chick
Peep at a week old. A black laced Cochin chick.

But that didn’t happen.

Staring Cochin chicken
The prettiest girl in the flock

Instead, something very sad happened.

Always frowning
Chickens always look upset

I went to lunch with friends today, partly because it’s my birthday (no applause, please), and partly because I like hanging out with my friends occasionally. My Hunny took the day off work to get stuff done for me around the house.

Peep Immortalized
Our Julie painted this for me for Christmas. I love it.

I came home, after lunch and a little birthday shopping, to a somber Hunny. He said he had bad news. I thought he was joking.

Reversed camera effect
Peep loved to send text messages and check her peep mail. She pretended to be Godzilla.

He had bad news. Very bad news.

Peep in the herb bed
After completely destroying the parsley and cilantro, Peep lay in the herb bed for a nap.

A hawk killed Peep.

The prettiest girl
Peep really was the prettiest chicken of all

Peep was the only chicken I raised from a chick of a week old. She was my fancy girl, with her hammer pants. She wasn’t very bright. At all.

Peep on the shoulder
Peep made a nice accessory, as well.

But she would jump in my lap when I sat on the porch.

Whatever the weather
Whatever the weather, I’d sit on the back porch and Peep would jump in my lap and just sit. And preen.

She ate coconut out of my hand. She gave the dogs what for. Peep was the best backyard chicken anyone could ask for.

Dave's rendition of Peep
My friend Dave painted Peep for me early this year.

This hawk, it was watching. Hawks swoop down all the time. They watch the girls. This mean hawk followed Peep into her favorite hiding place.

Talking about her
Yes, Peep, I’m talking about you. Pretty thing.

My Hunny had just finished burying my favorite chicken in the backyard when I got home. He’s a good Hunny.

She was a good chicken
Goodbye, Peep. I love you.

So my apologies for being so photo intense today. So sad. So chicken focused. I’ll be back tomorrow.

Until I write again …
