She's a black australorp, if that matters

I like in kansas and its getting pretty cold this week... one of my hens has done discoloration and I'm hoping its not frostbite... Is frostbite deadly and should i be worrying? They fo have a heat lamp inside their coop

So i also checked their roost for splinters, there isnt any but there is a spot up high that they like to roost on too, whick i am blocking off. This is the first one that i noticed... it is the worst one So i think i will order the things to remove it without a scapel and when i do that i will...

Hello all and thanks for coming to my thread! I have a small flock of 11 hens with 2 Barred plymouth rocks 2 golden laced wyandottes 1 smaller polish and 5 rhode island reds They are all a year old take or leave a few month and located with my grandfather, so really i only have a chance to see...

Yeah, Maple was great and she does miss Piper This morning when it happened i put maple back in with the rest and buried piper real quick. When I came back, Maple jumped on the food bowl, and then to the top of their box and i saw her looking at me, and Piper's box😖

So sad news guys, Piper didn't make it through the night... When I went into their cage this morning, she was on her back, with Maple still snuggled up against her. She didn't wake up. To be honest, I'm suprised she lived this long Thank you so much to everybody who helped me❤❤❤❤ and Piper...

Maple is doing a great job!

Its cloudy rn so its only 81 but isually it gets to about 95

Her trying to snuggle with the others which is why i put Maple in with her last night Maple is now Piper's "chicken guardian" and continues to lay with her even outside!

When i looked there was a little and it was a bit red on the inside

Now she's huddled up with Maple, who seems to lay with her alot... 🙏pray for a good night

@Wyorp Rock Should i try to find her a buddy to snuggle with at night?

@Wyorp Rock Update: So what i am beginning to think is that there may be something wrong with her leg that I didnt notice before... Another thing is that -when they are outside- she always tries to go under the others and tries to lay with them... And she chirps all the time

Shes just exausted i guess
