My favourite little psycho chook Rusty was buried out in the backyard last week after she became quite unwell. Rusty used to love smashing the chilli plants and they're going to be a long time in recovery to ever look as good as they did before the old girl came along. Rusty was one of our chooks that came from the Egg Farm at Erina, and like so many chookies was mistreated before she came to us so never really liked being patted as did the other girls.
We did have many feats with her though, as she would eventually come all the way up the stairs and into the house with the other chooks for their good morning hellos'. Rusty was a beautiful chooky and will be well missed.
We have buried her out the back and are going to cover her with one of the beautiful chilli bushes she used to love to eat.
