Today, I am going to talk about Peanut, our little chick who was born with a deformity. Sadly she didn't make it. This unfortunate event happened on September 13. We woke up to find a poor, suffering chick resting peacefully. Hannah was bawling, and refused to do anything but set up a funeral. I came home from school to find a mournful Hannah shoving a piece of wood and a black marker, telling me to write the day Peanut was born and when she died. I added a sweet message on the wood for Hannah. She was pleased with that. We buried Peanut with our goats at our side. It was sweet and simple. Peanut is probably a lot happier now. Good-Bye Peanut! We will miss you forever.
