This sucks. Really sorry for the hurt and loss, @lily-da-vine. It's cool how you channeled your upset into digging Pepper's grave... and then will have succulents that will feed from the nutrients she will eventually give up. *She really will live on.*

Please be easy with yourself. You guys did everything under the sun that you could have done. Kudos for all the effort y'all put out to save her.

I know you're really fond of silkies, so I was looking around to see if there was anyway to get you hooked up with a sponsor... like a humane, Tyson  equivalent type thing. You could maybe leverage the homesteading/small farm niche you guys have carved out, and get monthly dollars for simply mentioning/acknowledging their sponsorship of you in some of your content. 

I don't even know what y'all's stance is on advertising/sponsorships, but I think it can be ethically done when you collab with the right partner. **The larger crypto space we inhabit is really into forking... but joining together gets shit done, too!** :-)

Anyhoo, I poked around a lil', but the rabbit hole is just too big for me, as I don't know squat about the poultry industry. I did learn, though, that silkies are called the "cuddly teddy bear of the poultry world," and also "goth chickens". That made me giggle.
