Abigail (April 2, 2006 - January 14, 2009)

It is with great sadness that I am announcing Abigail, the chicken, has died today on the farm. She was 2 years and 9 months old. This chicken lived on the farm with eight other hens and Rocky the Rooster. Abigail received a proper burial at Noon today under a big oak tree. Her death follows her sisters Myrtle and Betsy. I am dedicating my play in this weekend's Miami Art Deco Tournament in her honor. My motto will be -- "WIN IT FOR ABIGAIL!"

Almost three years is kinda old for frying or braising, but come on... surely her death would have been less in vain if she'd given her body to science? Chicken soup would have been a wonderful, selfless gift for her to give you.

Sorry to read about your beloved Abigail. Is 2+ years a good long life for a chicken?
