Hmm, bit of a mystery, then. Could it be a hernia that's popping out when she lays making her feel off for a few days then going back in? Has she ever prolapsed or been eggbound? Kurby22's idea of a calcium supplement is a good shout, it may help and if Onyx doesn't need it, she'll excrete it...

Oh my! I can just imagine that little squeaky 'crow'! Ferdy sounded like a gate hinge that needed oiling. And treating his mom at two weeks! I bet that looked as adorable as it sounds 😍

Do you mean a welsummer cockerel or a cockerel who was clearly all man very early on? If you mean the latter, I knew Ferdy was a boy 4 days in from hatching and he was trying to mate with his mom at 3 weeks. He didn't try to crow until he was 5 weeks, though. He has turned into the best roo...

Poor girl! Is she going downhill just after laying an egg?

You can have some of our rain! I think we've only had 30 dry days since January and our temps are about 3° below average for June. The chickens are still enjoying their watermelon regardless.

They are soooo gorgeous 😍 😍😍😍 The one tucked under your girl's wing looks just like Stan when he was a tiny hatchling.

Oh my! She looks determined you're not getting out without paying your ransom 😆 Welcome back! I've been wondering how you are?

I'd be more than happy to have some too. Sweetcorn is my absolute favourite vegetable and in any way it's prepared. Except with worms - yuk! My brother assures me they are not nice...

I'm not surprised they were happy! Looks like a little slice of paradise to me - with some very content inhabitants :)

Aww, good roos are the best! And he'll teach any younger roos in the pen how to be good roos in turn. And welcome back. You've been missed!

Think you're right! He's a handsome boy, for sure 😍 The run looks good. Nothing more important than keeping the hens 😊

Mine hate bananas too! Now mango and pineapple on the other hand...

I wonder if in their own heads it sounds amazing? Samuel certainly gave you a "What the heck are you laughing at?" look 🤣

Just been told that my Shetland hen, Gladys', dad has died at age 9. He had nine lives - trampled and knocked unconscious by a bull, tangled in electric fencing, nearly killed by another cockerel...he weathered it all. And appeared on National t.v. here in the UK! He died peacefully in his...

I love goats! I do not need a goat either but... My friend has an Asiatic Golden Pheasant cock. He is a little 💩Terrorises her dogs, ducks and bantams. He's beautiful though, 😍.

Aww, I love It when the young boys try to crow! 🤣 I remember the first time Stan tried to crow. Stan watched his dad let out a magnificent crow, threw his heart and soul into copying him - head back, chest puffed out - and out came...a tiny, pathetic squeak :lau

My vet friend (who is coming tomorrow to examine Stan) finally got the results of the bloods we took from Penelope. She had leukaemia. It was a bit of a shock but when she didn't bounce back properly after we wormed her, my next best guess was some type of cancer. I had suspected reproductive...

So glad you found her in time. Lucky pullet!

Mine won't eat green grapes. But they are spoiled brats 🤣

This is more or less my philosophy. I even re-home the rats we catch!
