Hello from our little Family Farm we call Hen Pecked Acres!
We moved from the city to a great rural town here in Western MA in the fall of 08. We have been VERY busy ever since~!
We are raising a mix of heavy breed hens for egg production and as pets. We do not have a Rooster yet, but will...
I have decided I want to add a pair of Pilgrims in with my Buffs. I can wait till the spring or if anyone has juvenille Pilgrims (3 months) that are unrelated male/female and are imprinted or human bonded I would be interested in more information. I am in Western MA and can travel a little if needed

Someone told me yesterday not many woman bow hunt.., that surprised me.

So sorry It sounds like maybe it got sick.., or choked as suggested? We had a few chicks from our shipment die and this is what happened right before they died. They started foaming up.., no idea why and we lost 3 our of 35 or so within 2 weeks of recieving them.., but it was sad One died...
How is the baby doing? I would contact Ideal and if something happens they should ship you a replacement (I HATE to say that!) I think you can give them sugar water like chicks.., sounds like it could have been a rough ship Hope she gets better!!
