    Our sweet hen Flannery is dying. Would appreciate any advice.

    Thank you. She really was a sweet girl. After 3.5 years I still feel new at this and didn't realize how hard my first hen loss would be. They are like family.

    Our sweet hen Flannery is dying. Would appreciate any advice.

    We have three hens all around 3 and 1/2 years old. They are not laying right now, but I assumed it was because they were all dealing with the season change and finishing molting. Flannery the buff orpington has always been a bit nervous and smaller than the others. I very vaguely remember her...
