    Hen Injured by predator, ok except for limping

    Last spring, one of our hens came up limping. No broken bones. We put her in a very large dog kennel in our spare room. Food, water, pine shavings, no roosting bar. Two months of R&R.

    Hi from a relative newbie

    Time for cheerful news! Ten days ago, we adopted four young hens from a trusted and reputable breeder! We now enjoy Sophie (Blue Copper Maran), Esther (Cream Legbar), and sisters Cayenne and Pepper (Ameracauna). We feel extremely blessed! Thank you all for your encouragement. 😊

    Hi from a relative newbie

    You have provided great insights – thank you. Milk thistle… where do you obtain that? How much do you give them?

    Hi from a relative newbie

    I really appreciate you sharing your experience. I’m sorry you lost your three buckeye hens. Isn’t it so hard? There are days when my brain says “no more,” but of course, my heart longs for new hens.
