Every decision we have made in our lives, directly affects so many many things. My decision, 4.3 years ago, to take that little red Polish girl out of the tank at the co op, garnered several generations of chickens, and our farm was literally built on them. 
Dearest Perch passed away today, from what I don't know. But we found her curled in the nesting box, peaceful. I loved that crazy old lady, and she will be very very much missed. I don't even know what to say. June 13th, 2013 was the beginning of my farm, and it started with Perch, Peck, Herdier and Herdier Jr. Caldwell Acres will miss their Signature Chicken, Perch. Sweetest box of rocks, who laid an egg almost every day of her life. Love you to the moon and back, little girl. Sleep well next to Maxine, you will be a part of the farm for eternity.
