I'm sad to announce that Blackie (my silkie rooster) died this afternoon.
I've been asked to spare the gritty details of how he died. For the record I know why he died, but as for Sunshine and Rainbow I have no idea why they died, or if their deaths were related or not.
So below are some of my favorite pictures of Blackie...
As a young fluffy chick, he was originally named "Valentine" by Ava
We had no idea Blackie would be a rooster, because we went to a chicken farm where they sex their chicks....

Still fluffy, he enjoyed sitting in my purses and going places

Sitting in a basket on our way to a chicken play-date.

The question has already come up about if I will be getting more chickens, and the answer is yes... not sure when but I do plan on getting our flock back up to 5-6 chickens depending on the situtation.
