Paul found Leo dead in the silkie pen this morning. Oddly enough, he had seemed fine. Hopefully whatever it was isn’t contagious.

Leo was named after ‘Big Leo’, the character from The Freshman. Leo. Big Leo. They’re synonymous (”That’s right!”). Love that movie.

Please don’t feel sorry for us. If he attacked my legs one more time this summer Paul might’ve decided to help him on his way to the big chicken coop in the sky anyway. so in a way, this was easier on everyone. Sumo, our remaining silkie rooster, seems ecstatic…he’s left with 3 hens all to himself, including Squeak. When Paul went into the barn, the three silkies were STANDING on the corpse but Squeak was nowhere to be seen (top was purposely left off last night, so Squeak could roam the barn)…she didn’t return until we removed him.
