Matilda passed away on 2/26/14.  She was nearly five.  She died of ovarian cancer, something that is common in old chickens.  She will be missed.  Here she is below as a day-old chick.  I got her on April 2, 2009.  Hard to believe that five years has gone by!  Matilda was the head hen in our coop and the rest of the girls are a bit lost without her.

Aahh, my sincerest condolences. I bet you will be a little lost without her too.
So sorry to hear about Matilda. She was a beauty.
Thanks, Joanne and Carolyn, for the sympathies. My chickens are good girls and I will definitely miss Matilda. She was always the greediest and one of the friendliest, too.
