    Wow yeah. I think this is what happened. She was so small. Ugh so sad. Thank you for sharing this with me.

    Stress/Moving/Death

    I am aware that no one in the forum can telepathically tell me how my chicken died. Was just putting it out there in case anyone had any similar experiences. Thanks.

    Stress/Moving/Death

    Yup! I’ve used our local lab before - very helpful and interesting in figuring out mysterious deaths. I’m getting the vibe that you do not believe this was caused by stress.

    Stress/Moving/Death

    Swedish Flower Hen Chick size

    Thank you and for sure, I’m definitely waiting before I make any guesses about what she is! I just wanted to see if anybody knew if this was normal for these chicks to be this large!:)

    Swedish Flower Hen Chick size

    Just checking to see if anyone knows if Swedish flower hens are typically large as chicks. We have one and she just seems so much bigger than the rest of the girls that are her age (about 2 weeks). Her tail is exceptionally more developed than the rest of the babies too. Not sure if she’s...
