Jabberwock
January 2017 - September 2020

feathers until she was about to fall asleep in the grass.

A dragon-like creature from
Through the Looking Glass.

Helvetica
February 2020 - July 2020

Named after:
A character from The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy
Disposition:
Trillian was intelligent and sociable.
She liked people and would walk into my arms for a hug if I sat
on the ground in front of her. Nonetheless, she was the alpha
chicken all her life, even as a chick. She always enjoyed other
chickens' respect but kept several close friends in her flock.
She was adored.

Breed:
Speckled Sussex
Named after:
Jupiter's brightly speckled
(heavily cratered) moon
Disposition:
Callisto was friendly and intensely
curious. She liked to observe us through the kitchen window and
follow us around the yard. Sometimes, she sat near us in the
grass and let us pet her for minutes at a time. Even as an adult
chicken, she still liked sitting on my shoulder. She was one in
a million.

flying was her favorite thing.

during the short time she had left.
