Our grandmothers were sisters (daughters of Eliza Jane Armstrong from County Tyrone, Ulster). As I mentioned before chickens aren't that dumb. I had a pair of hens that were buddies. Ethel was a big bird and Lucy would sleep under her wing at night. They roosted outside the coop instead of in with the others. One day when they were free ranging in the yard a neighbor's dog attacked the flock. He killed a bunch of birds, including Lucy. For the next week Ethel barely ate, and continued to sleep outside on the perch she had shared with her friend. Finally she started sleeping inside with the other birds. She clearly missed Lucy. Studies show that chickens can recognize up to 200 other chickens. They really are interesting birds. Linda Hamid Sweetwater Poultry email: [email protected] web: www.sweeth2o.us

Hey, Linda... Do you know my grandfather had an older sister named Eliza Jane Armstrong born in Co. Tyrone? I know it was not an uncommon name so I won't get too excited about it yet...but it's an odd coincidence, isn't it. Do you know where your Eliza Jane was born and did she come to the USA?
