You and I are kindred spirits Fay. I have also had chickens, cows and dogs that I have taken in and lived out their life with me. My chickens were good layers then as time went by they would lay one egg a month then nothing. I was ridiculed for not selling them for meat. My girls had names and they were family so I pretty much told all of the people to fuck off and they lived out their lives in peace at our home.

We certainly are kindred spirits, Karen. My two daughters and I were heavily involved with 4H. My youngest had poultry and goats, the older of the two had rabbits and goats. Meat animals were never given names after our first year on the farm any animal that was named was given a pass for life and became friends of ours, including chickens, turkeys and peacocks.
