Our family experienced a profound loss this week: our perfect Jenny has departed this life and crossed the rainbow bridge. Jen was a true best friend to all and the sweetest ambassador for chickens. Jen brought sunshine and happiness to everyone. She was always energetic, ready for adventures, and so fearless. โฅ๏ธโค๏ธโ๐ฉน
Jenny came to us as a baby girl, the cutest most perfect lil chick. Jen lived at the coven for years with Bodhi and her gal friends, until my mum moved to VA and built the hens a wonderful fortress with her. Jen lived the funnest life among mama Kesa, her gal pals, and all the other animals. ๐
Jen is the reason I started rescuing chickens and learned so much in a short period about their care needs. Jen is the reason Bodhi flew into my life - the reason why I help catch dumped and abandoned chickens - the reason why I agreed to take in Tino and Moe - the reason why we brought Wi******er to the coven. Jenny is the catalyst for it all. Our motivation, our inspiration, and our guardian.
Jen was almost 8 years old. I am so grateful she had so many years with us, but it never feels enough. Chickens deserve so much more from our society. Jen was a Leghorn, one of the most exploited breeds for egg production in factory farms. Jen experienced several painful egg episodes and scares (last photo is a massive egg that Jen had trouble passing years ago, she was in such pain). Jenny is the only chicken we have had that actually got to experience the positive effects from a hormone implant to prevent laying; she had the injection done a couple times which helped her for several years to get some relief. Iโm grateful for that - but wish chicken health care was more common, studied from a compassionate viewpoint, and taken seriously for routine care.
Please send love and healing thoughts to mama Kesa, all the animals, and our entire coven family.
๐ฏ๏ธ I will love you forever and always, Jenny. Please give Blanche, Lorraine, Dorothy, Bella, Shirley, Ethel, Rose, Moe, and Bodhi lots of kisses from us. You are so missed already. ๐ค
