Thank you! She is doing so much better now.

I am very sorry for your loss...❤️

Yes, is this unusual? I hold her with her head facing me and dip her legs into the bath and hold them there for ten minutes or sometimes more since she seems to really enjoy it. She starts to doze off and close her eyes!

I have an interesting relationship with all of my birds. They all try to establish dominance and then I get mad and then laugh at them and they laugh at me and it's just hysterical. I'll have to see if I can get a chicken in on this dynamic. I am definitely aware though to keep anything (that...

Okay, she has the layer feed now and I will m make sure to buy some oyster shell for her too. Thanks!

Yes, thanks for the reminder! I used to have a dove years ago who started laying eggs when I put her to sleep past 8pm. I started putting all my birds to bed earlier and she stopped laying. I had to be careful because I didn't want her body to use up all her calcium which I know would be a...

Yes, I've bathed her several times and then used a blow dryer to dry her off. She was so good. She also gets Epsom salt baths just for her feet every night where I hold her feet in the water. The bird literally starts to doze off. It's so cute. Her one leg was lame when I got her but after...

Thank you for all of this info! I was thinking of trying to build a cage with a bottom similar to a parrot cage but with small enough bar spacing where the chicken's feet wouldn't have a problem walking on the grate. Also, I have no problem clipping her nails as they grow out but will get her...

I will have to read more about this to find out what to do. I know hens can get a little aggressive around eggs which is understandable. Any advice you have would be most appreciated.

I know what you are saying. I have a dove that I rescued from someone that threw him away in a cage, literally put his cage next to a dumpster in a housing complex. This dove coos all day, and I know he would like a mate. But the fact is that most doves on Petfinder (where I found him) stay...

I know where you are coming from and appreciate your concern. I once found two chickens walking around in a residential neighborhood and went all over the place to try to find the owner. Someone helped me track down him down and when I brought them to his door, I immediately regretted what I...

I have no idea. She was in the woods. She had a bad case of coccidia and a leg that was almost broken. She may have loved her flock, or she may have come from a place with horrible conditions. I have seen no "Lost chicken" posters posted anywhere and I run a lot. Personally I think she...

It's not just that I couldn't have two. It's that I can't clean up after more than one chicken. I was going to find her a good home but she is already cuddling up to me. I wouldn't mind if she sat with me all day. I am committed. Four birds total is my absolute limit right now though and...

I have a mirror in her crate right now and she does sit by it a lot. Unfortunately I won't have room for another chicken in my condo, but if she's not happy here I will find her a good home. I have a feeling though she will be very happy. My rescue dove coos all day but he coos for me now...

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about Patience! I already have her in a dog crate for right now while she is healing. (That was an upgrade from her Tupperware container. lol) I do have a playpen for her and diapers. I am also thinking of building her a cage so that her poop...

Thanks for the feedback. :)

I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. Was going to maybe build her a cage for the time that she's not out of her cage and in a diaper. I've literally been cleaning up each poop as they come out. She calls out to me ("buck buck!") to let me know when she needs me to come and get a poop. It's...

This will be reason #1 why my parrots decide they love her. :)

Thank you! I guess that would be necessary since chickens lay eggs lol. :) Boy do chickens poop a lot. I never saw any birdie poop so much in my life. BUT, she's so cute...

Thank you for the ideas! I will definitely try them out. I already have chicken diapers, a big chicken perch, a playpen, a dog crate, a cat bed, a chicken plushie and bird toys for her. I am just waiting to get clearance from the vet (for the coccidia) before I give them to her.
