just an update.. Lucy is doing well!! once it gets over 30 degrees celsius it seems she has a harder time coping with the heat, but otherwise, she's the boss of the backyard. i got her a friend - a light sussex - Rosie.. so Lucy is being super bossy with her, but getting better by the day and...

Thank you @Eggcessive Look she's been a good girl today, only a bit of gaping, but it seems she's better every day. it was weird, but yesterday she laid TWO eggs?! lol today she laid again.. she also never did that gaping neck thing again, so must've been adjusting crop :) @MeepBeep oh...

thank you, this advice is fantastic.. and isn't that just the thing, even medical general doctors prescribe us antibiotics for everything and anything, when in fact ,if it's a virus it will not make a difference - but it does seriously affect our bodies. vet told me strictly that we can't eat...

Hi Eggcessive Thank you for your post. But what concerns me is she has her beak open all the time.. i'd feel foolish if she was just trying to keep cool and i've locked her in a box.. ha! but very happy of course that she's ok. this morning her crop didn't seem to have digested.. I"ll have a...

Hi everybody.. i've been checking these threads for years and have finally decided to join! I've had 7 chickens over the years all up, lost them all to various things (eaten cooper wire, gapeworm, rehoming rooster and his favourite chock..) now my 7th is feeling unwell.. she's had watery poos...
