    Sick Chicken! Tail feathers are down, not moving, seems to be panting.

    It's now 8:45pm here on Camano Island. Buffy is more active and alert. She came up to the fence when I gave the girls some lettuce. It made my heart so happy. I still saw a little panting and her tail feathers were not so low. Feeling better. Whew!!!

    Sick Chicken! Tail feathers are down, not moving, seems to be panting.

    Buffy is moving just a little bit. She has eaten a little. She has had about 10 gulps of water. I think it's a step in the right direction. Buffy's tail feathers are still down and she is still panting. I have cleaned the water and the coop today as a precaution. I have found nothing out of the...

    Sick Chicken! Tail feathers are down, not moving, seems to be panting.

    I checked her belly it doesn't seem swollen. She was a little more alert but still not moving. She did nothing when I examined her and she didn't try to get away. She talked to me a little. Thank you for all the suggestions. I took a picture and a video, having problems uploading them.

    She layed one yesterday. I feed them in the morning: Purina layer, scratch grains, meal worms, a little sprinkle of herbs. Sunflower seeds as a treat. spinach, lettuce, corn in the afternoon. Once in a while the get some grapes and other veggies and some plain yogurt.

    A hawk almost kills my chicken

    Oh, I'm so sorry for you and your chickens. I hope they will be okay. I recently had a hawk attack also. I wasn't so lucky. We lost our Silkie, she was the smallest and slowest in my flock. I think the other responses were good advice. I wish you all the best. I'm glad you were there to scare...

    What do you like to do with your eggs?

    I haven't done that experiment yet. The holidays are coming so I'm going to be baking. I can't wait to find out. I did make cornbread and it was so good. I just didn't do a comparison. That will be a good one for a weekend when Desiree is here. All I know is ALL my egg dishes are so much better...

    Heat Lamp at night & winter?

    I turned the lamp off Thursday night. My girls seem happier. I don't find them still out wandering in the run when I get home from work at 9:30PM. They are all nestled together in the coop and getting a good night sleep. I'd really like to thank everyone that shared what they do for their...

    Lost our beloved Silkie to a Hawk

    Well, I started today placing nets over the top of the run and attaching them to tree branches. We get some pretty good winds here on Camano Island, WA. so I had to be sure the tree branches could still move, and still be a derturant. I have one more spot to do, but I need Desiree to climb the...
