    Arrrrrrrrrh! Thank you all so much. I am feeling better now that you have said that i did the correct thing. We will have fond memories of Jessica. I know it may sound strange but when she went blind and we accomodated her in our abode we grew to love her more and more. Everytime we walked past...

    OMG that was quite emotional! Or should I say 'surreal' or Woe! OMG or even a lil bit Traumatic. I'm glad it went ok. First chop did the job but another two made sure. I used a cleaver. I thought that a cleaver would be better as it has a longer blade therefore less chance of 'missing'. She...

    Thanks for the reply Suzie. She seems so very weak. Her bottom is very messy also. She hardly moves at all. I think all i have done for her is all i can do. She's been wormed and had loads of good minerals and a variety of foods. With her being in our house now the speed of her deteriation...

    Hi all. I hope you are all good! I'm sorry I have not been online for a while. Been really busy recently. I'm afraid our Jessica seems to be near death. She was doing really well for a good while. Now she cant stand up and just lies down and looks she has trouble keeping her head aloft for long...

    I think I'll miss my "Just Hatched" status when it changes. I think it matches my avatar. Just curious. At how many posts does the status change and whats next after "Just Hatched"? I really would like to keep the "Just Hatched" title...... regardless of how many posts I have...

    Bit late for a new intro. Ooooops

Well here I am now saying a big HELLO to you all! I'm not very experienced with chickens but since I joined a few weeks ago...

    Strange isn't it? If I get the time tomorrow I'm going to take some more pics to upload. Some of her new "house-coop". And I'll get some new shots of her eyes.

    Thank you. Well yes! Why not have a chicken in the house. We have 2 Dogs, 4 Cats, 2 Tarantulas and now a Chicken! I'm glad to say that the cats and dogs are chicken friendly although I'm not so sure about the Tarantulas. Atleast the Tarantulas are in their own enclosures and escape is...

    Hi again. I thought I'd update you on the situation and ask a little advice. Jessica has been eating and drinking well. Now wormed her poo looks quite healthy. The weathers been quite cold here over the last few days. Since she is our lone hen I have been making a small coop for her inside our...
