    Just went out to put the chickens away for the night, and one of them was outside laying on the ground. She can’t seem to walk. More details in post.

    It’s funny you say that, my mom works as an AA counselor and I just made the joke to her “hey do you guys accept chickens as clients?” 😂

    Update: she’s totally fine this morning. When I took the blanket off her cage she stood up and looked around in the bathroom like “where am I?”. I took her back outside with the other ladies and she’s running around and eating / drinking with them like normal. Her clucks sound a bit like sad...

    Sounds like my girl, except mine was eager to drink water, so I really hope she’s okay. I’m sorry about your hen :(

    Update: decided to move her to the bathroom where it’s more quiet, and she was able to stand up a little. But still doesn’t have good coordination / balance. I brought her a cup of water. She was definitely thirsty and immediately wanted to take a drink, but she was not very coordinated at...

    I read through that article, and I sure hope that’s all it is! Fingers crossed & I’ll make sure she drinks lots of water.

    The other 2 hens are fine. But one of them was laying on the ground and can’t seem to walk / stand. I fully examined her, and she has no injuries. The only physical thing I could see is that her comb / waddle / face is super bright red. Other than that, coloration looks normal. Heartbeat felt...

    I’m thinking of adopting a bonded pair ( young turkey and chicken) from the humane society, looking for advice about housing before I make a decision.

    Their comfort always comes first ❤️

    I’m thinking of adopting a bonded pair ( young turkey and chicken) from the humane society, looking for advice about housing before I make a decision.

    Our local humane society has a young turkey and chicken. They are a bonded pair. We already have 3 hens. I only have until 5PM today (4 hours from now) to make a decision before the humane society closes - and the birds are set to go to a sanctuary in the morning. So the staff at the humane...

    Chickens and Their Hilarious Personalities

    I love the picture of her standing on your boot. Chickens are certainly opportunistic & pretty good at problem solving 😂 cold feet? Stand on mom’s boot.

    Chickens and Their Hilarious Personalities

    Very cute lol. Also I didn’t know there was a name for their “keep away” game 😂 both chicken football and chicken rugby sound cute though

    One of my hens passed away recently, and ever since that day one of my other hens stopped laying eggs.

    Oh no 😔 I’m sorry. It’s always sad to lose one.

    I’m sorry for your loss. Did she ever lay again? I’m hoping my girl’s mood improves, she just acts so lost now & I can’t do anything for her besides giving her extra love ❤️ :(

    Just edited my post to add a photo of the tattoo. And yeah, I agree. They may experience emotion in a different way than we do, but they certainly care deeply for one another. ❤️

    One of my hens passed away recently, and ever since that day one of my other hens stopped laying eggs.

    They would’ve all been hanging out together when it happened. So they all would’ve seen it happen. My dogs alerted me to something being wrong so I hurried out to the backyard. It was too late by then, and the other 3 hens were all hiding in their coop. Dandelion is the only one who has shown...

    One of my hens passed away recently, and ever since that day one of my other hens stopped laying eggs.

    One of my hens, Tiny, passed away 2 weeks ago. It happened very suddenly. A hawk swooped on her. It still breaks my heart, and I got a tattoo to honor her memory. One of my other hens, Dandelion, spent most of her time with Tiny. They were friends from chick-hood. I raised 4 together. And...
