    What a beautiful message Lea. I'm sorry to hear about 'big mama'. What a sweet chicken. We have had dozens of chickens pass on our farm but there are always those few that had special personalities that I remember. Most recently we lost our 8 year old chicken from our very first flock. Her name was 'No toe'. Classy, I know. She weathered so much in her time with us and she will not be forgotten. These animals teach us so much. ❤

I cried because you are just like me, and I know how humble losing your beloved hen must have been, but at the same time, you explained this experience of life and homesteading so 💞 perfectly! I don't know you, but in a way I feel like I do, and I say I love you and love your heart and soul in the most respectful way! I say thank you from the depths of my.heart for your videos, especially this one.

    My heart hurts to hear about Big Momma. I am in my living room using a little syringe to get apple cider vinegar and cinnamon water into our Sweet Summer. She isn't even a year yet. It breaks our hearts to lose them. We have 2 others that turned 10 in April. The more we fall in love with our animal soul friends, the more hurt we have down the road. Hugs to you ❤

    I'm so sorry about the loss of your Big Mama hen. She sounds like she was a great girl to have on your homestead.
    I had a drake killed by a fellow drake at the beginning of this year and it hurt my heart something fierce. Remember them at their best.
    My mom always said that an animal's spirit goes back to God once they die. I like to think Big Mama is where the hawks never swoop, the grass is green and bugs are plenty. Hugs, Lea.

    I have Gretchen, our "ninja chicken" as she is affectionately known. She fought off a dog to save our little flock, almost loosing her own life, comes in the house with the dogs for treats, and even keeps our rooster in line. Her age is showing and I know one day our hearts will ache with her passing. I can only imagine your pain and my heart breaks for you. God gave her to you, and you did well by her, so well. Prayers to you my friend.

    Take heart in knowing Naomi (aka, big momma) had the best life possible, and y'all are the reason. Not all animals are so blessed. My husband and I used to run an equine rescue ministry, and our daughter is the animal control officer for the county. So trust me when I say, "Not all animals have it so good." We live on a 13 acre homestead in south central Indiana, and it has always been my goal to make sure every animal in my care has a good life and that I steward them and the land in a way that is pleasing to the Lord. Blessings friend❤

    Yes! I couldn't agree more! Sustainable eating and supporting local farmers is so important! . What's going on in the factory farming industry is frightening and appalling.
    People buy supermarket meat (which is factory farmed) without making the connection of the level of cruelty and corruption they are supporting. Thank you for speaking up for animals, and asking others to consider making positive changes in their food choices. What we buy, we support.

    That is simply life. But I am so grateful for all those beautiful home grown eggs!!
