Another one down..=-(

Pepper died in early morning hours yesterday, not sure what happened with her. She probably lost 3/4 of her body weight, more feathers came out and she could barely stand or open her eyes. I tried giving her drops of apple cider vinegar and bits of worm but she passed anyway. The other 2 hens seems to be  doing fine. Only one of them is producing eggs though and its only about 3 a week. I bought some corrugated metal yesterday from a building supply store to make a more respectable roof on their house. It was probably the first time any of these folks have seen a Toubab (white man) carrying corrugate down the street, and in a thunderstorm. My other moniker among many of the local vendors is Boss Man or Big Boss Man, I hope that one sticks with me when I return to the US it has a nice ring to it..
