    Old hen can't stand on her own

    Thank you, but I already laid her to rest out next to Cinny, the other hen in the first pic. She seemed so peaceful that I want to just leave her that way.

    Old hen can't stand on her own

    Thanks to everyone that tried to help me. Just letting you know that Thelma, that was her name, passed away this evening. I'm still convinced that she was having strokes, she went peacefully. It's almost like she waited for me to get home from work to say goodbye and that it was ok for her to...

    Old hen can't stand on her own

    I don't know how old she is, I have had her for around three years, and she was full grown and stopped laying when I got her. Her skin looks normal, and she isn't showing any signs of being in pain. When she stumbles, she tries to get right back up. The only thing I have noticed different...

    she is still eating, drinking and pooping regularly. it may sound strange, but watching her the past few days, i'm starting to wonder if she could have possibly had a small stroke.

    Old hen can't stand on her own

    I did, the spots circled in the first pick look like cracking from dry skin. The black is just something that she stepped in. I'm getting more worried because now even with help she can barely stand and stumbles around trying to keep her balance and when she is, she stands with her back side...

    Old hen can't stand on her own

    I have an old Barred Rock hen, and a couple of days ago I found her in the coop laying on her side. I thought she was dead at first, but then she started to move. If I help her to her feet, she is a little unsteady at first, but is able to stand and walk around on her own. One of her feet...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    I'll let them out into the main yard with me more when Thelma has had time to get used to the place and I can spend more time making sure they can't sneak off into the neighbors' yards. Though a lot of times Cinny seems content to stand guard at the back door waiting for me to come outside

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Mine don't seem to mind it, I think they know that rain brings the worms out of the ground. Everytime I see them out in the rain I tell them that I have soggy chicken again
