Today was a bittersweet day at The Lazy Vegan. It was a very hard decision to make, deciding to take Sophia & Bella back to where we bought them- but I believe it was the right decision, and I felt even better about it when I saw how easily they reacquainted themselves with their former chicken group. Still, I AM sad! For the past almost year I've had Sophia (Bella for just over a month)...I've had "chicken chores" daily and I will actually miss the routine. But most of all I will miss going outside to see "my girls". I loved going out calling "Cluck, clucks" and then watching them both come running (if you have never seen a chicken running, it is a very endearing and comical sight). I've discovered that hens are quite complex creatures- they have an amazing range of vocals- from the alarmed squawking to the noise they make while laying an egg to the little cooing sounds when they're safely in the coop at night. I'm really happy I had the opportunity to share my life with two hens- at least for a while- but I'm also very relieved to not have to worry and wonder when (no longer an "if") a predator will come to take them! Farewell, sweet Sophia and Bella...may you live out the rest of your lives safely and happily!





This sight made me happy- back with friends!
