Injured beak

Chicks would be alright I think, so long as she she gets some company. They don't like to be alone for long and it may encourage her to eat if she's able. If your putting in heat for them she may enjoy it too

We were going good to get chick's. Do you think we should oak for a timid adult chicken?

Point of lay pullets would be best...Or like you said another hen...Pecking order changes from flock to flock so a once timid bird might be more aggressive...Let us know what you decide and how the hen is doing...?

Cheers!

We still haven't seen our poor chicken eat, but she is pooping so I hope that means she must be eating at least a little. She isnt herself at all, but she is hanging in there. We will be getting more chick's as soon as possible so that she won't be alone.

How is your little bird doing?

 

[michelledrucker]

She is hanging in there. She is eating a little. We got her to eat quartered grapes if they were lying on top of the grass and we ground up her pellets and think she is eating a lityle of it. She lost weight, but she is healing up so now that she is doing better we are looking good to get her some friends. Thanks for asking.

Well that's some good news! Have you tried adding some water to her crumbles and making a mash for her? I use fermented feed and they sure enjoy it

 

[michelledrucker]

I will try that. Thank you.
