I had to have one of the chickens put down this morning. Bluebelle (my chicken) suddenly couldn't walk - her legs just wouldn't hold her up, and it was the kindest thing to do. Very sad today. Also, on a practical note, it was only her and Millie laying, so now I'll be down to 1 egg per day. I can feel chicken purchasing urges coming on very strongly now. It's my birthday soon ......
