Thanks. In this case, you could actually say, "rest in pieces" and not sound cheesy like all the other times people use that saying.

Luckily I believe that this is the only life we or animals get, so Red served her purpose well. For two years she gave us 5-6 eggs a week and her whole life she gave us entertainment. In exchange, we fed her lots of extra treats and tried to give her the best life we could give a chicken.

I do wish she had have made it another year though. Even if she was done laying.
