Hi there sadly she didn't get any better. I carried on feeding her and kept her indoors unless it was nice and sunny then took her outside to try and get her to copy the other hens feeding this didn't work and she just gave up and died. I hope you have better luck..

* times not tes!!

It very much she looks like there's life in the old girl yet. Unfortunately I think she maybe blind! She's eating on her own if I put her mash nearby the trouble is she pecks above the food several tes before she finds it. If I put corn on the grass she scratches the grass but doesn't see...

Ok next question. Having only had liquid feeds and still ignoring the corn next to her why is she know eating the wood shavings used as her bedding? Even when I put the corn in front of her she eats the shavings either side it?

Hi Castportpony. Yes sorry I did read it when you posted but then when it came to the feeding last night forgot and panicked as didn't want to give her too much in one go. She is so thin the vet had trouble finding enough muscle to put the injections in! I know it's silly but it's a 50, 50...

I'll get used to this forum lark soon posted this under the wrong thread!! On closer inspection she did have creepy crawlies so I gave her a bath last night in DM. Once again she slept in my bathroom it being the warmest room in the house at night!! Only trouble was that every time she...

Great snow chicken. It doesn't snow very often here but when it did last month it brought the island to a stand still for 2 days. wish I'd thought of a snow chick but to be honest I just loved the look of virgin snow in my garden. Can't say the same for my hens they didn't know what to make of...

Thanks everybody for the welcome and acknowledging our loss. I will always remember J-P letting the hens out of their pen to let them run around in the garden because he didn't like them locked up and sitting with them hand feeding them corn. This was our introduction to owning our own hens...

I've checked for lice and mites and she's clean but will try the worming. thanks

thanks Drumstick Diva will do.

Can anybody help me as my 5 year old hen, which is a cross between a Maran and Barnevelders is not eating and is lethargic. In the last year she hasn't laid any eggs and looks as if she's taken on a cockerels tail feathers! I noticed today when I went to give them their corn that she wasn't...

5 years ago we bought 6 hens which are a cross between Marans and Barnevelders. We got them for our 14yr old son to help him cope with life, sadly not long after we got the hens our lovely boy left us but his hens kept us focused. We still have 2 of the original hens, Esca because she always...
