Owl passed away from natural causes last night. She came to me a few years ago from neighbors down the street whose kids had raised her for 4H, and she was no longer "wanted". Owl was by far the friendliest hen of the flock, never minding being held or petted, and she consistently laid beautiful khaki blue eggs. She was probably about 5 or 6 years old, the average lifespan of a hen. I laid her under a pine tree out in the woods.
