Hi Oola, so sorry to hear about Yoko especially after she seemed to make some sort of recovery. However, what a wonderful two and a half years she had enjoying all the things that hens do. It is sad and I really feel for you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Oola]

It just wasn't to be..she'd had enough and just wanted to sleep. I was so so sad. Thanks for your kind thoughts xxx

I'm sad for you too, Oola, I read about Yoko on your blog. But you must have given those hens a lovely life after their rescue.

I am so sorry to hear about Maureen and Yoko, Oola, but you did give them a fantastic rest of their lives for two ex-battery hens. RIP to your two girls.

Oh no Oola! I'm so very sorry to read this! Be assured you were the best mum they had and you gave them everything they needed, being as happy as they could be. xxx

Oola I was so sad when i read your blog this morning, losing a animal is so heartbreaking.
But following their exploits on your blog you gave them an amazing second chance at life.

make yourself a pot of tea and hide for the day with harry potter.

Thanks so much to everyone for your comments, it's been a rocky ride but I still feel it was worth it! xx

So sorry Oola to read the sad news as other RM'ers have said they had a wonderful life. xx

Commiserations Oola, losing a friend is always tough especially when they had such a tough start in life, but you gave them a happy life which is a good as it can be for poultry.

Please don't think that I am glossing over their loss, but since you are now hen-less, if you do decide to have poultry again but want completely different characters, we had lovely egg-laying ducks as pets. We had one Khaki Campbell (who laid about 280 white eggs in a year) and an Indian Runner (who laid about 250 blue eggs in a year). Unfortunately they were taken by foxes while on holiday at a friend's farm (in spite of farm dogs being around). We would have had more but there are too many determined foxes in our area and any security lapses become a massacre.
