Queenie our Barnevelder has died. She developed a gastric infection through the week and despite treatment she died today. She is the last bird from the original flock that was established in June 2006, so that would make her about 4 1/2 years old.
She was a lovely bird with a friendly temperament and always easy to handle, and a beautiful bird. I compared her with other Barnevelders at the Royal Melbourne Show and I think she was one of the best of her breed.
I'll miss her.
