    Just went out to put the chickens away for the night, and one of them was outside laying on the ground. She can’t seem to walk. More details in post.

    It’s funny you say that, my mom works as an AA counselor and I just made the joke to her “hey do you guys accept chickens as clients?” 😂

    Update: she’s totally fine this morning. When I took the blanket off her cage she stood up and looked around in the bathroom like “where am I?”. I took her back outside with the other ladies and she’s running around and eating / drinking with them like normal. Her clucks sound a bit like sad...

    Sounds like my girl, except mine was eager to drink water, so I really hope she’s okay. I’m sorry about your hen :(

    Update: decided to move her to the bathroom where it’s more quiet, and she was able to stand up a little. But still doesn’t have good coordination / balance. I brought her a cup of water. She was definitely thirsty and immediately wanted to take a drink, but she was not very coordinated at...

    The other 2 hens are fine. But one of them was laying on the ground and can’t seem to walk / stand. I fully examined her, and she has no injuries. The only physical thing I could see is that her comb / waddle / face is super bright red. Other than that, coloration looks normal. Heartbeat felt...

    I’m thinking of adopting a bonded pair ( young turkey and chicken) from the humane society, looking for advice about housing before I make a decision.

    Chickens and Their Hilarious Personalities

    I love the picture of her standing on your boot. Chickens are certainly opportunistic & pretty good at problem solving 😂 cold feet? Stand on mom’s boot.

    One of my hens passed away recently, and ever since that day one of my other hens stopped laying eggs.

    Oh no 😔 I’m sorry. It’s always sad to lose one.
