Thank you. We live on the west coast of Canada so it only gets to below freezing for a few days each year. Otherwise just lots of rain. She was already the most independent hen. She seems ok so far.

This is the one that is left. She is also such a sweet girl and even eats lunch with my baby:) They like to hang out!

My lovely chicken has passed away. Thank you so much for all your support. I only have one chicken left now. I don’t want to get another chicken at the moment, but I’m worried that she will be very lonely. Can chickens do alright on their own? I am worried that if I introduce a new chicken they...

The vet called tonight and the poop sample came back that she had lung worm. I treated my chickens for this last spring as my other chicken was sick and made a full recovery. I was going to try to treat her tonight but she has rapidly declined and wouldn’t eat the medication. I don’t think she...

Hi Again! Now my lovely chicken is rapidly growing her feathers back but she is very ill looking. She is quiet and has her eyes closed for most of the day. Her face is still swollen. Not mites or lice. She recently started stumbling while she walks, unable to walk in a straight line unless she...

Thank you so much!

Thank you for your help! I live in the city and we only ever had 3 chickens and 1 died a year ago so it’s been a year with just the 2. There was never a rooster. We got the ladies from our neighbour whose flock had scaly leg mites. Our girls have had them for years. I have treated them before...

They spend half of their day in their run and the other half out in the garden where they eat kale and other garden greens and scratch around. In their coop there is layer pellets. They also have access to oyster shells.

My lovely chicken has been steadily losing her feathers all summer. It started on her neck and vent area as it has done in past summers but now she is losing them from all over. She has almost none on her back now and has lost some on her wings. She doesn’t appear to be growing them back as she...
