I am so sorry for your loss. It can be hard to find answers without a necropsy. This is your choice.

I am sorry to hear about Constance not being well. She is pretty. I hope you get some answers soon.

They did not mention it, but did say that Friday I should have a full report (7/21/23). I hope to know more today.

Here is Cherise. 3 yr old Rhode Island Red. Pretty girl. So talkative. She always gave Sandy a try for the preferred roosting spot. RIP girl.

My 3 yr old RIR was laying around the last 2 days. It has been so hot I thought she might be overheated. I don't think she had been eating. She did drink. She is very thin. I give them a frozen tote of ice, fans, they have water and layer feed. Yesterday afternoon I brought her in. She...

I wanted to post this link for my fellow South Carolinians. Here are some workshops offered by Clemson University Livestock Poultry Health. In case you are not aware. They would be the ones you would take or send your chicken to if you needed a necropsy at death. They are an excellent...

I love the mixed flock, but don't breed. Barred rocks, buff Orrington, RIR. Easter Eggers, Americana.

While I like everything about this coop. The ease of cleaning is quite appealing! No one wants to spend time cleaning. But is a requirement for a healthy flock.
