61.2°. Sun. I chance on this scene where, like me, Son Silver Lace Rooster Gerard and friend Cuckoo Hen Pearl check the fragile condition of dear Gold Lace, often times Mother Hen, Sarandipity. A flock elder who’s one of two surviving first born progeny, the other White Hen Katia, to founders White Rooster Shinnecock, Gold Lace Hens Cleo and Chloe . Sarandipity is living outdoors with her family, who, as her son exhibits in this video clip, give reason to continue life despite illness that would be life ending for most. She persists. Despite swollen eyes and mouth since August 2: why we hand feed and water three times a day because withholding care causes same until death. Medicines since May 16: a rollercoaster ride of ups when they effect her to be well. And sudden downs: today she’s struggling to breathe. Uneasily we watch her endure a suffering condition, that, personally we’ve always said we would rather die then endure. Do we still think so? Sarandipity has decisively fought to stay alive: it’s not our choice to challenge hers. A decision similarly made when she was born. But, it wasn’t till this moment of filming her son Gerard lovingly clutching her head feathers to keep her awake, breathing - that I understood they aren’t ready to lose her from their lives - either. Watch HI res footage. Gold Lace Hen Dianthe waits patiently for chicks Chee Chee and Thunderbird, aged 42 days, to nestle for the night.
