Detective Smiggy sat in her nest
She would only lay eggs in the house. In a dog bed, in my studio.
She'd make adorable trills until she was ready to lay her egg. Then she'd eat it.

The first ever picture of Detective Smiggy. She's standing in the kitchen table, looking very scratty, being offered food
She turned up on Halloween, destined to be a house chicken, and the focus for all our love.
She thrived.
We medicated her, cleaned her, fed her, let her sleep on the foot of our bed, but also in the coop so she could retain her position in the pecking order.

She was naughty, and we didn't do much to dissuade her. She loved jumping on the table and trying to steal food and drink from our plates.
She was really chatty, and I loved to listen to her twittering to herself.

Detective Smiggy sitting on her human
She was 3 years old. She had been part of a breeding programme, and we took her in as she was "past her usefulness". The only thing that mattered to us was that she was happy.
She was definitely happy.

Detective Smiggy passed away in her sleep last night. I found her this morning. No sign of injury or illness, just gone.
We only had her 3 months, but in that time she was more loved and pampered than she could ever have dreamed. Those clues were self evident.
