I believe your hen's panting may have been respiratory distress. Its possible she inhaled water while caught in the rain and down on the ground. She may have had water or mud in her lungs. I'm sorry your hen died. And I really don't believe your son "loved her to death".

Word of mouth works well to. Tell lots of people. I was able to find a home for my too, plus two others volunteered too. All found by chatting up customers at starbucks (I'm now the crazy chicken barista, but it worked!)

Hi! I'm from NH too! I'm a born and breed Californiacity girl who relocated about 6 years ago. Love my chickies too. My friends back inCA cant stop laughing. They don't know what they're missing!

That was very brave, and kind of you.

I have no experience with this for chicks. None. The condition in humans is gastroschisis, and a baby needs immediate surgery after birth. The risk is that the bowel will dry out, the skin around the opening can cut off blood supply and the bowel becomes necrotic (die) and cause a massive...

I'm glad to know I'm not the only "lamp challenged". I was really only able to have it lower mounted or higher,with very little flexibility in between. I ended up placing it lower and changed it to a lower watt bulb. Also, I noticed they were getting snippy with one another when they were too...

PheazAnt: Those are adorable babies! I have 4 BO's about the same age in my brooder. 3 look like yours, complete with the tiny tails. The fourth doesn't quite match (a lost-n-found?). The tails made me wonder if I managed to pick up the only 3 roo's in the entire sexed bin! They're very...
