I have (had, she passed away night before last) a Gold star hen, about 5 months old.
She got very lethargic and sick in March, then seemed to recover, but never laid eggs and couldn't get up to roost with the other hens.
I thought she had started laying eggs last week, but was never positive...
Have 3 hens in Wasilla. Looking forward to summer!
Lost one last night. I think she was egg bound, so did an autopsy. I am posting this so I can accumulate posts to put picts on the diseases List.
Hi, neighbor! I just joined. I only have 3 hens now, lost one last night from egg binding. We get plenty of eggs from our three.
Lost one to a hawk this winter. Come on spring!
Livin' in our farm house wannabe, acting like a farm girl.
Have 4 hens, have had 6, but lost one to a hawk and lost one last night. Posted about it on the diseases topic.
We have two girls, 8 and 5, who love nature and are willing to autopsy chickens and dissect mice with me!
Still waiting for...
