    illness or just old?

    she’s always been a bigger chicken but she has felt a bit boney lately. i’ll check the other stuff as well. i already checked her eyes as well as the eyes of the other chickens and the bubbles they had before seem to have gone away. i haven’t checked ears or anything else yet so that’s a god idea 😁
