We found what was left of Crazy Mops late this afternoon. Not sure what happened, the boys and I found the feathers and what what left of her body on the grass.

Life on the homestead….not always pretty, but you get to experience appreciation of new life and the respect of passing.

I can’t leave you with just the bad news, one of our 8 month old hens started laying. This is Fuzzy, a silkie hen.

Her egg is half the size of regular eggs. The big brown one on the upper left is probably a supermarket “large” size.

This hen is unnamed – but she’s an Ameracauna (we think)
