Au revoir St Ivel of Roujan

Well poor old St Ivel the hen (Ivy) popped her claws today. Her comb was blue and she was having trouble breathing. Ali gave her swift injection of antibiotics but sadly it was too late. She struggled for a few minutes until I asked her to give it up and toddle off to another more beautiful hen-house elsewhere. So she did. Ivy was a good hen. She gave us many eggs and no trouble. I hope she felt she'd had a good life.
