We are absolutely heartbroken to share that we have lost our very special little chicken, Capucine.
To some people she was “just a chicken,” but to us she was so much more. She was a big part of our family and especially of my daughter’s life.
Capucine came to us after being given to us, so we never knew her true age. She had health challenges. She was blind after being attacked by other chickens and needed a lot of extra care, but we did everything we could to give her the happiest life possible. We even built her a little pink house on our balcony where she felt safe, loved and happy.
We don’t know what happened, and not having those answers makes this even harder.
A little while ago, we created this piece of artwork with Capucine as part of the Animalia Project. It wasn’t just about creating a beautiful portrait. It was about raising awareness and inspiring people to see chickens, poultry and all livestock differently. Every one of them is an individual with their own personality, and every one of them deserves kindness and respect.
We hope her portrait will continue to remind people to be grateful, to think about where their food comes from, and to remember that these animals are so much more than what many people see them as.
Thank you, our beautiful little girl, for everything you gave us. You were deeply loved, and you will be missed more than words can ever say.
