random story:
about 2 years ago we had 2 lavender orpington chickens, one female, the other male. the female, Abby, was sick, and the male, General, followed her around everywhere and would sit next to her any time she got tired.

awwww

she died, the other a few weeks after, but I painted two popsicle sticks with their names on it that hang right beside each other
