Roost High Mama Roo

Mama Roo was my first hen and who initiated my love and dedication to owning chickens. She taught me so much. Today, I am sad beyond words. I rescued her from the streets June 2024. She was with me for almost 2 years. She had been struggling since last fall with sour crop and reproductive issues. I believe all age related issues since she appeared older when I rescued her and adding on the almost 2 years. She was struggling this morning and departed us while she was in my arms. I had asked God not to allow her to suffer anymore and if He had to take her to do it before I went to work so she isn't alone. Within seconds she started seizing and left me. My heart is broken into a million pieces because this is the day I always feared and never thought it would come so soon. Please send your prayers for my family and I. I am certain she is resting with all the other chickens in heaven eating all the corn and worms she wants. She was my alpha hen and I am missing her so much and today feels so surreal. Just wanted to leave you all with her memory 💔
