		<description>Hi Mandi

No I wouldn&#039;t eat Peace. She was a pet. However I&#039;ve thought about your comment for some time.

Peace clearly had something wrong with her and the frosts just brought this to a head. Her companion, Hope is fine to date. 

Even if I was starving, I wouldn&#039;t have eaten her. 

I&#039;d choose a chicken that looked healthy. But actually if the time came, these are all pets so the choce would be hard. If we died the Min Pins would happily eat us. We would eat the chickens before the dogs but I think that I&#039;d prefer to eat through he freezer and larder and then curlyup a 

Road kill is a whole new &#039;Kettle of fish&#039;as my step father used to say.

If you see the creature beore it&#039;s killed, looking healthy but just ormously stepping into the road then yes eat this animal. Never pick up an animal and eat it from the road however tempting. I&#039;ve seen mixy rabbits dying in the road and then hit by cars - these would be a bad idea to cook. I&#039;ve also seensick partrigdes, pheasant and pidgeoon totter onto the road to be flattenedby passing cars.

Just pick up the creatures that you have seen healthily alive.</description>

		<description>So sad for you.  I have lost chickens in the past and always felt the bereavement strongly.  As everyone says, this weather can&#039;t help.  We have a Welsummer bantam, Wendy and she roosts up in a tree in her run.  She has done this for a couple of years now and refuses to go into the chicken hut.  She flys up before we get to her and cannot reach as she is high up.  I worry every night and do not know how she manages to cope with all this cold.  She is lovely too and full of character.  I have started to call her Braveheart - she is so brave to do this on such dreadfully cold winter nights.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m so sorry to hear about Peace. It&#039; so surprising how hens get under your skin. I&#039;d be howling if one of my girls died. They&#039;re such lovable characters and have their own individual personalities.</description>
