Death of Sunflower

Today I lost one of my pets a hen named Sunflower.My family owns several pets,parakeets,fishes,and two hens Marigold and Sunflower.We found Sunflower today dead.We believe a rodent attacked her as we have seen an increase in them since a nearby property was cleared down and a building went up.

I never thought I would become so attached to the birds but through caring for them I had grown to love them.Their interaction always fascinated me.Now Marigold went up on the perch and had to be forced to come down.We have taken steps to eliminate the rodents but we will miss Sunflower a real "scaredy chicken".She will be missed!
