This morning she was reluctant to come out her hen house.

My 18 month bluebell hen has been I'll for the last 5weeks. Originally taken to the vets 5weeks ago as was lethargic, burning red comb and hot body. Was put on anti biotics to treat an unknown cause. She perked up but has slowly gone down hill since. Her comb is now pale, she's lost a lot of...

thanks, feeling better about it today

Well I took her to the vets this morning, he diagnosed a respiratory Infecotion but said she was too far gone and the kindest thing was to put her to sleep. R.I.P pepper x

Thanks. I'm not convinced it is gape worms as according to the Internet it is quite rare and the chickens die quite quickly. She isn't getting any worse except is being feather plucked by another chicken (we will be putting a bumpa beak bit on her tonight).

I live in Buckinghamshire, nice countryside about 1hour away from London.

]We were having the same thoughts and were told to either take the water holder in at night and put back during the day as they don't need it when sleeping or to add glycerine to the water as this prevents freezing My husband suggested adding alcohol but not sure on that lol

Hi all 2 weeks ago we got out first ever chickens. 1 x black star and 1 x gold star who settled in fine. They were about 20 weeks and we were getting one egg a day between them. Sometimes very small, sometimes normal sized We went and bought 2 new chickens a week later and introduced them. They...

Hi all 2 weeks ago we got out first ever chickens. 1 x black star and 1 x gold star who settled in fine. Have since added 1x Sussex to the mix and they are getting on well. Have to say they are hard work and I'm like a new parent worrying over everything they do They are all about 20 weeks and...
