yup - #35 bit the dust last night.
we never gave him (or her) a name but I saw the remnants of #35 this morning on the sidewalk outside the office.
#35 was a guinea hen and was the #35 in the batch of chicks bought the winter before last.
we have them at our little office campus because there are tons of deer around and where ever there are deer there are deer ticks - the kind that carry lyme diesease.
guinea hens eat ticks and are supposed to roost in trees. Ours spent most of the time on the ground and got picked off one by one by local fox...
the last one went to guinea hen heaven last night.
In memory I grabbed one of his feathers (that's all that remained) and taped it up in the office in memory of #35.
I guess the white board we had in the office where we were counting down remaining beaks one by one - sometimes two in a night can now be used for real business purposes...
oh well - #35 rest in peace my little beaked buddy.
