Hey everyone! :)
I haven't been on BYC in a while and I haven't had chickens in about four years which is crazy! I loved raising them and have missed it dearly. Now with everything happening in life, I am home and have plenty of time to start up again! I am getting some new baby chicks on...
Its been too long since I've been here on backyardchickens. I've missed the information and members who are so kind. I made some good friends on here. I had chickens for 3 years and today I got rid of my last hen. The othesr had died and been killed. I will miss them and hope that one day I will...
Its been a long time. And I'm sorry to everyone who has sent me PM's that I never answered. I haven't been on in so long. School has taken over my life :(

About 5 days ago I found her sitting alone in a corner of the pen her tail down and poop running out of her end. I thought she was egg bound again cause she had the signs of it but there was no egg in her. I had her inside for a couple day and she would eat a little and drink a little. She never...
