A moment for Nugget

Last week was a sad day for our little flock as we lost one of our chickens, Nugget. She had been sick for over a week and Brian had been trying to get her back to good health, but was just too late. She hadn't been eating and then last week she died in the coop.
The kids responded very differently to the news. When Brian told them, Adelyn immediately started to cry and was very sad by the news. Cameron on the other hand couldn't stop laughing. I'd like to think that it's because he didn't know how to respond so he chose laughter, but I'm not really sure. Either way it didn't make Addy feel any better as he just couldn't stop laughing.
The kids decorated a box for nugget and they buried her in the backyard. Now our little trio of hens is down to two.
