R.I.P. Vivi

Vivi, my beautiful cuckoo Polish died last Saturday. It just sucks.
She was one of my first Polish, and when she was a chick I used to constantly carry her around in the hood of my sweatshirt. She would always get tangled up in my hair  & probably hated the snuggling, but I forced the love on her anyways.

Vivi was buried on the border of our yard & the vineyard. My darling husband dug the hole & helped me say goodbye.He said "She was OLD. Its OK.She was a good old bird" but I was still sad.
When one of our animals passes,  we always sing Goodnight by the Beatles as our final farewell.
​ I get all weepy no matter what. 
My husband sang with me, and that was very nice.

I have been very fortunate to spend some quality time with my flock lately, and I am so impressed by how attentive my roosters are. They are super sweet, docile, and always put the needs of their hens first. Without the boys, the hens are pretty lost. Both of my main roosters get along well, and protect the flock together. Since we've got a pretty large space to free range now, the guys split up & do a great job making sure everyone is safe & accounted for. 
At the end of the evening, Gamma & Randy round up the girls and they all snuggle up together in their "Silkie Piles" So cute.
