Yolko - Nest in Peace

Nest in Peace Yolko - She and her partner Clementine were given to us by another family 6 years ago. I hate to admit that she was my least favourite of the flock at first, as she bullied Drizzle (our eldest hen) and tried to hog all of the treats. But as Clem's health declined for months, Yolko was so sweet, protective and nurturing to her this time. I saw an entirely different side to Yolko. Clem's passing left her a more mature bird, and one who took the reins of head hen and (mostly, excusing the occasional foot peck) left any bullying behavior behind. She was a spirited chicken, friendly to humans, always energetic, and a rock solid guide to her flock. Even to Drizzle. As far as egg production, "Yolko yolks" were always my favourite; a large sized egg and very tastey. Overtime, she went from my least favourite to most valued flock member. I thought we had many more years with her, and i'm sad that we wont. Nest in peace Yolko.
