Obituary for Blindy and Blacky No. 2

Blindy and Blacky No. 2 were savagely killed last night by a predator that entered their coop. We are thankful that Blindy probably did not see it coming.

Blindy and Blacky No. 2 are survived by close friends Browny No. 1 and Browny No. 2, as well as Blacky’s sister, Blacky No. 1.

We will miss Blacky No. 2’s delicious eggs, and although Blindy did not contribute to the egg basket, we will miss her dearly. Blindy, who dressed in a beautiful black and white feather boa was a humorous old lady who entertained us on a daily basis. Blindy’s blindness did not deter her from living life to the full; she was an inspiration to us all.

Blindy and Blacky No. 2 were buried this morning beneath a beautiful East facing tree. We give thanks for the eggs you have contributed over your lives.  

Bawk bawk baaawk bawk bawk (may you rest in peace).

  2. Oh man how sad! Especially 'Blindy' - she was the character chicken. Least the kitties won't have to fight Blindy for their food!
