I lost Beaky, my crossbeak boy, to a hawk today. He wasn’t the best looking by most people’s standards, but he was the smartest and sweetest and he defied all the odds since the day he hatched. He was my little underdog and I loved him dearly. This one hurts so bad.1yr ⋅ dickholejohnny ⋅ r/BackYardChickens
