Hmmmmmmm. We
Hmmmmm. Quite possibly. As long as she's happy and your current flock would be happy too. Are you in Florida? I'm in the New Port Richey area.
Just an update. I found Annabelle a home, BUT, after talking to my vet have decide to keep her. The vet said she may get attacked all the time and possibly killed. He said she would be fine by herself. Its the only yard and life she's ever known. I have to do the best and responsible thing for...
So far with adding the addition of frozen jugs, wetting down the sand (no real dirt here), and adding a kiddie pool (actually an unused clean kitty litter pan). Annabelle seems to be fine. I think I'm the one that's miserable, she looks at me like "what's the big deal?" I give her LOTS of ice...
Ohhh. My sister put her in the bathroom. I hope I didn't make a huge blunder. I'll try those things you mentioned. Ice jugs and wet dirt. Maybe aim another fan in the yard.
I do all those things too but I'm gone 12 hours a day so the fan is pointed at the coop and I give Ice water and cold corn along with blueberries. I bring her inside to the kitchen on the tile floor.
In Florida the heat index is already at 108°, actual temp is 95°. My hen Annibelle is out there, in the shade and dust bathing (I can see her on camera). Should I get my sister to move her inside? She has two water sources with drops of vinegar in them. Trying not to freak out. It was 104° heat...
Annabelle will be checked over by her vet on Thursday to make sure she is healthy. If anyone wants her and has a good home please let me know. Thank you.
Hi there,
Yes, for about 1.5 seconds. Raising chickens was not a wise move on my part. It is too much work for me. I'm at work/gone 12 hours a day, run a house almost solely, and have two other projects going on. It is just too much.
On top of that, I don't seem to be very good at it and is too...
I can't believe it! I checked on Ruby at 2 this morning and she was dead on the floor!!! I'm so upset. I didnt see that coming at all. My poor Ruby. Now Annabelle is all alone. 😭
It comes with a heavy heart that I must give up Ruby. I had to put her back on antibiotics this evening. As soon as I'm able to rehome Annabelle I will let Ruby go. If anyone has a good and happy home for Annabelle please let me know. I'll drive to the Florida border if I must. Also I'll get her...
Well. She's laying about every other day BUT in the middle of the night, thin shelled, and always broken. To me it's a very small win as at least she is laying something. I'll keep giving the two of them yogurt with probiotics for now. I don't want to give up prematurely but maybe I need to grip...
Thank you for asking. Ruby is still on antibiotics. Last day is tomorrow. She has Been having less and less down days. Has laid several huge eggs, which troubles me some. The vet said her laying eggs is a good thing but a bad thing too. Her reproductive system seems a bit off because of the...
After talking with my vet today it has been discussed with him that Ruby is going to need surgery. That is not financially possible for me and am going to try to raise the funds to help her.
I've started A Go Fund me page as I'm not sure what else I can do.
If anyone is willing to help with...
