My beloved Buff Orpington died today which takes our flock number to one. One single hen. My question is do I keep her and get new chicks next spring or do I find her a new home with more friends? Does anyone have only one chicken? I live in Nebraska and can't imagine a cold winter by yourself...

Doesn't appear to be overly swollen (although I'm not used to seeing her bare bottom). I did dust her with a little sevin this morning, but she's just sitting in the shade and resting today (it's also super hot here). Am I on the right track? Anything to make her more comfortable? What's making...
