    When Your Backyard Chicken Dies

    I just lost my first chicken - a Golden Buff - after 2 years and 2 months. All of a sudden she had a drooping comb which became paler and paler. She behaved as though she had the flu, sort of standing there, not very peppy. Nothing wrong with her legs, no wheezing, no oozy stuff anywhere, no...

    what should i get?

    I just completed my first full year of backyard chicken farming and I have to say, I love my Black Australorps. They are very mild-mannered, friendly and great egg layers. I do find a lot of entertainment from my Golden Buffs (that's what they were called on the site) - sassy, kinda bossy...
