I realize most people don't share pictures of dead chickens on their Instagram feed but we're no standard instagram over here 🤷🏻‍♀️ We lost Puff yesterday, surprisingly the only chicken we've lost since we got them in the spring.

True to their personalities, Tessa was unphased while Ellia mourned Puff's passing- until we said this meant they could get a new chick in the spring and suddenly they both were very much okay with Puff being dead and started fighting over who got to pick which breed chicken we'd get. ⁣

⁣

It sparked some good conversations at bedtime about life and death- it's permanence- eternity- the difference between animals and humans- how it's okay to be sad and miss them- how it's good to talk about the things they liked and miss about them now.⁣
