2022 - What I did today

Enigma and Nimrod are (were) the chooks we're tending. Enigma, we were told has been poorly for a year and at the stage we took over she was immobile and in a sorry state, she stayed in the coop all day almost comatose. I think anyone else might have dispatched her, but I couldn't have done it. We were given instructions on what to do if she pegged it while the owners were away. They are only away for 2 batches of a couple of days each, so why Enigma had to die on my watch is perplexing. We gave her a proper burial, marked her grave and Nimod was in the congregation very interested in our digging. She doesn't seem bothered by being alone and greeted us warmly this morning.
