Well we feel pretty lucky to have her as long as we have. I tell some people how old she is, almost 6, and they all say that’s pretty good life for a chicken. ❤️ We love her

Yeah, there’s not much of it but that’s the freshest poop of the day. She even lifted her leg to scratch herself today, it’s just all very odd to me. Could it be an injury of some sort? Or just old age?

I have read several articles a blog posts regarding cat and dog food for extra protein. Ones thing for sure these girls and Larry our rooster will eat almost anything! I’ll try the canned cat food, giver her a Little treat

She’s eating pretty good. She loves raspberries so I gave her a few of those and she also loves a scratch corn so she’s getting some food in her with her normal layer crumbles and oyster shells. If I didn’t know any better watching her outside today she just seemed pretty normal and then she...

Thank you! I have an appointment at the vet onMonday and we also have a feed store with a knowledgeable employee regarding chickens. I looked at her poop last night and although there wasn’t much of it there was enough to look at. It looked normal to me but yes I’ll go out and see if she has...

I have let her out to be with them for awhile and now she’s a back in her crate which is a large dog crate so yes she can see her sisters.

She is eating, drinking pooping and we have had her in her own cage for a couple of days.she really wants to be with her sisters anyway I have been videoing her but can’t seem to post the video on here.

Yes ok. I do have Oyster Shells and I will distribute them more throughout the flock. Thank you very much for the information. This can be a reminder that there is a lot more to chickens than just fresh eggs. I feel like I’ve let them down a bit by not paying more attention to their overall...

Thank you.

It was like an egg I guess but it almost sounded like really really thin paper as the hen was eating it. It was definitely not unite an egg shell, more papery thin then shell

Thanks you so much for the articles. It frustrating that for the most part one can’t get the hens the help they need before it’s too late. It’s unfortunate For Mazie is our pet, the only hen we can pet and pick up and hold. I won’t let her suffer. she gave us almost 6 years of delicious eggs and...

Yes I was thinking the same because of her age. She seems to be resting comfortably now. We lost a couple of her sisters, same age, over the last couple years. One to cancer, had a necropsy done to be sure, and the other had the same symptoms as the one that died. We did have a death of a young...

she kind of waddles I guess when she is trying to move around, when she turns to move it’s like a 6 point turn for lack of a better description. She tried to get up on a very low ledge and couldn’t do step up. That’s when I put her in her crate so she wouldn’t chance injuring herself

Hello! She is going on 6. I believe it’s been awhile since she last laid eggs. She doesn’t really stand exactly but crouch close to the ground. Her poop looks normal to me but yes I can get both pics for you

Hello, new here and I am concerned for one of my older girls. The last couple of days she is having difficulties walking, standing tall, but eating some and drinking, she is pooping. I have her contained in crate with heated lamp and have given her probiotics in her water. I felt her crop and...
