    Helping a heavy old hen safely roost

    I have a similar situation with one of my girls! She's a black sexlink who's rather portly and the same age as yours and has a hard time making it to the coop (it's elevated from the ground). I've given her a ramp and a few other tools to help her get up there safely herself, but she's stubborn...

    Oh no, I'm so sorry for y'all's loss! :hugs Rose must've been really special to y'all... Both the hens I've recently lost were Buff Orpingtons too, so I definitely feel the pain... Sounds like the school coop could use an upgrade if possible, really sorry that keeps happening to you guys!! ;o;

    Sour Crop + Lice on One Hen, Any Advice Please?

    I also made a thread about grieving, if that would help anyone here! I know I always feel better knowing that someone's dealt with the same things as me, and talking seems to help, too. Besides, a thread is cheaper (and prolly safer rn) than therapy! :p

    Misery Loves Company - A Grieving Thread

    I don't really see a thread dedicated to this already, so I figured I'd make one myself! I recently lost one of my sweetest girls in such a tragic way, and dealing with it has been extremely difficult. It's only been one day, so the pain is still very fresh, and I'd like to do something good...

    Severely Gurgling Hen

    I don't have any advice on this subject, just wanted to send my well wishes to your girl! I will say that since she's still eating, that's always a very good sign in my experience, and I hope she'll shake it off soon!

    That's the truth!! This is thankfully the first loss I've had like this, others were from predators, not from disease. So sorry for any losses you've had too. Thank you so much again, yesterday was rough, but today's been better! 💖

    Sour Crop + Lice on One Hen, Any Advice Please?

    I'm sorry to report that she passed away this morning in my arms. I think she waited just long enough for me to see her one last time... There's no doubt it was from either sour crop or an impaction or both because when she left me, all that awful fluid came spilling out of her beak again. She...

    Sour Crop + Lice on One Hen, Any Advice Please?

    Sorry for the late response, I didn't receive an email notification for some reason! I really appreciate your help and kind words, thanks so much. :hugs Yeah, it's starting to seem that way, because treating her for sour crop isn't really making her improve, but she also isn't getting worse...
