I am so sorry for your loss, Amy. big hugs to you and your family. Rosey was so cute. I liked her face, especially her eyes, which made me smile.
That good thing was what she passed away quietly. - Akiko

<Concrete does not do well in damp areas and one must modify the design to allow for drainage. Thank you so much!
Our backyard is damp because surrounding with lots of trees. I am glad to know the fact that we shouldn't have a...
Hi Folly's place,
Thank you for your reply.
I thought that I can use these words for the ground as well.
Anyway, I was looking for somebody who has the concrete ground for their coops,but I can't find any.
I was wondering if it is a fatal issue if my husband build it.
For a good example...
Hello everyone,
I have a question about a chicken coop which is like the picture below. My husband has a plan to make the platform for our chicken coop.
I am wondering if it is okay for a chicken coop? My concern is no circulation/ventilation on the ground.
Please let me know about...
Hi Amy,
Thank you for your update, Amy! I am so glad to hear that Rose seems to be enjoying outside. Rosey better stay outside if she still has energy with her boyfriend? :) That must have been tough for you and your family .... I still feel hurts when I think of Deckie.
I hope Rosey...
Hi Amy,
How is Rose doing?
I made a video of Deckie..
It may be helpful to watch the end of it. I loaded some pictures before she died.
I still have a deep regret to make her feel earlier.. but I am not sure if I could....
Best wishes,
Akiko
I am sorry for your loss, Bogtown chick. Your backyard is beautiful. Now wonder your chickens have a great life.
That must be tough for your daughter found Iris's tragedy. Well, that may motivate her to be a vet in the future.
She seems very kind to take care of chickens. Our kids are not...
Thanks a lot,Viollettt. Thanks a lot for supporting me and Deckie which was a big help for me. Of course, you will do your best for your chickens. I feel that you care for them so much. :)
Yes, I will update for Bumpy who has been suffering from pendulous crop. She is a real survivor, which...
Thank you so much, Amy. I read your thread about Rosey. Cleaning the whole coop should be tough in the severe winter. Rosey is really adorable. I really like her eyes.
And, thanks about Milk Thistle, that must help Deckie as I assume. She seemed little better after that.
I will cheer...
Thank you a lot, Shabana. Thanks a lot for supporting and encouraging me and Deckie. I say to my self " No regrets"... :)
Thanks a lot for caring for my chickens. Bumpy is fine. She is running around and looking for our dog food whenever she has a chance, that is her favorite food for some...
Her droppings are like egg stuff came out, which means she may be suffering from internal layer / egg yolk peritonitis just like my chicken who passed away today.
Your hen doesn't look good indeed. My chicken was 3 years old... I wonder if these age of hens more likely have reproductive...
Thanks a lot, pwand. Thank you for supporting me and Deckie. Your words helped a lot to me. I am also sending big hugs to you.
The night before she died, I knew that she was not gonna make it so I put a white warm blanket around her so she could lay down easily. and,Peacefully she...
Is her belly between legs bigger than usual? I hope some experts here will answer to you, but it sounds like she has internal layer to me.
Do her poops are like string and green with a lot of water? if say so, she may have some blockages and not digested.
Keep us update, please.
I can feel your hugs. :) Yeah, that was long since she got sick. She has been going up and down for several months.
You are strong and have a great heart, enola.
It is tough to face this as long as we have animals, isn't?
I will give you hugs for you and your chickens.
Update 2/18/2014
Deckie died around 2:00 am today.
She puked some blood and fluids before she died.
A couple days ago, she started to stand like a penguin, her feather puffed up, and she didn't look herself at all.
Thank you for all your support, guys. I really appreciate for your big...
