My Chickens
« on: March 28, 2017, 04:06:20 pm »
Well, I wanted to make some things for my chickens...

Eggness,
We got you,
We loved you,
We hugged you,
Every day.
I gave you cookies and crumbs,
I wrote stories about you,
Made songs about you, I did.
Life went on and on,
It seemed that nothing could go wrong,
It did.
I would make toys to look like you,
I would draw pictures of you,
I did.
Every day was just the same,
You would run and you would play,
The yard was full of bugs,
And we would give you lots of hugs,
All day.
But then...
Something happened one day...
That would change everything...
It was the day... we lost you.
Even though you are gone,
We still love you,
And we think of you,
Every day.

Henrietta,
The day we got you,
Was the best day of my life.
With silky soft feathers,
And a fluffy tuft,
We love her,
And she loves us.
For years, and years,
The other hens pecked her,
But she didn't mind,
She never fought back.
She is a sweet hen,
Never flaps,
Never pecks,
She gives hugs like no hen has ever done before.
The years go on and on,
Henrietta has seen many hens,
Come and go,
But she stays where she is.
She won't leave,
Any time soon.
Henrietta,
Is the greatest hen,
To ever live.

Josephina,
You were my birthday gift,
We got you and we loved you,
We gave you food,
I loved you more than anything.
Every day, we brought you inside,
We gave you treats,
Gave you hugs,
Nothing could go wrong.
Josephina,
Such a young,
Healthy hen,
With many years ahead.
But,
Far too soon,
Something went terribly wrong,
And Josephina was gone.
Even though,
Josephina has left,
We still think of her,
And we still love her,
And we miss her.

Noodles,
When we got you,
We loved you,
We hugged you,
And fed you,
You gave us love,
And that is everything we need.
When you escaped the yard,
You brought the other hens out with you,
They followed you,
You were their leader.
We gave you treats,
We gave you hugs,
In return you gave us love,
And that is everything we need.
But then one day it happened,
The day that changed everything,
Nothing would ever be the same,
Now that you are gone.
Noodles,
Even though we can't see you,
Even though you're gone,
We still love you,
And think of you,
Every day.

Sprinkles,
The day we got you,
Everything changed,
I remember looking into your cage,
And seeing your loving eyes,
Then letting you free into the yard.
We hugged you every day,
Let you run and let you play,
In the yard with other hens.
You had several crooked toes,
But that didn't stop you,
From being the best hen you could be.
The years went on,
I thought nothing could go wrong,
Even though it could.
A day that started normally,
Was the day that ended terribly,
The day that a terrible illness was found.
We did everything we could,
But in the end,
It didn't help.
Sprinkles,
Though you're gone,
We still love you,
We still think of you,
We still miss you so.

Oh my goodness....this really tugged the heartstrings. These are beautiful.

And I know that they are watching you. You gave them such a good life and I bet they're always going to watch you and thank you for doing so. And I know that they'll watch over your other hens and any more you get.

These poems are so lovely. Your chickens mean a lot to you, I can see that. I'm sorry you've had to deal with losses. My friend's grandma has a sick chicken at the moment and they're thinking she has to be put to sleep. It's difficult to deal with for her too. Hang in there chicken mama <3
