Our oldest hen Bramble died today, she'd been fading for a couple of days and was very old so it didn't come as a surprise. She will be missed, first to the door in the morning waiting for breakfast, if you were even a little late she'd be hurling herself at the door to attract attention.
Yes, Bramble could be a little feisty at times, she'd see off the neighbourhood cats with that "raptor" wings out charge that makes you grateful chickens aren't any larger! But she'd also follow me around as I went about garden chores singing away to remind me she would like a tasty morsel to eat.
She was a lovely Mum too, in 2009 she raised a clutch of Sebright bantams for us.
Thank you for the lovely memories Bramble.
