Little Gift

When I cleaned out the coop yesterday I found an egg from Pippa.
The last Pippa egg I will ever have.
A special little surprise gift.

Pippa's New Home

I took Pippa to her new home today. She will be soooooo happy there! Her new family has a really nice barn for their chickens and they had a place ready for Pippa.

When I opened the door of her carrier, Pippa jumped right out. In a few minutes she was pecking and scratching around. She ate, drank and settled right in!

I loved seeing her new family's chickens. They had the cutest red frizzle. And a darling little cochin that decided to lay her egg underneath a pile of hay. She looked like a little mole rooting around underneath the hay!

They also have 2 beautiful roosters. They were huge!

I am so relieved that Pippa has such a wonderful new home!

Thanks to everyone for your support and messages!

Goodbye Pippa

Pippa won a cutest chick contest - here BYC
I am so proud of her.

She was cute as a chick, but she has grown into a beautiful chicken.

Winning the contest is a little ironic, because I just found Pippa a new home.

It's very sad, but Pippa is just too noisy for my suburban backyard.

I found some nice people that have a farm and their own flock of 18 chickens.

It will be nice for Pippa to have somewhere where

she can "crow" to her heart's delight.

Right now when she gets noisy I have to put her

inside, so my neighbors won't complain.

I will miss seeing her pretty little eggs in the nest box.
And her little chirpy voice.


My tiny tough girl.

This is Pippa's goodbye video.

I'm taking her to her new home on Monday.

*sigh* It's so sad. And it was a really hard decision to make.
