    Hen stopped laying, becoming lethargic

    We did do an ultrasound. It was more than I was expecting to pay for a vet visit, but I'm glad I did in the end. Her vet appointment was four days ago, and since then, she's been following us around the garden "helping" with yard work like her old self, but at a much slower pace. In the last...

    This guy showed up at our house about a year ago, and hasn't left since (no neighbors close enough with chickens to be theirs, we figured someone just released their rooster chicks into the wild instead of culling them). He's absolutely gorgeous and very tame, and we'd like to know more about...
