Well another post just to say that Grey Lady is better. Yesterday she moved over to the entrance of the chick coop, so I opened the door, she promptly came out and started feeding as though nothing had ever happened. She wandered off but re-appeared pretty soon in the back garden and had a very...

Thanks again for the replies. She continues to seek out human and dog company.The dog allows the chickens to steal his bed and threatens the crows if they come too close.....he has spent all his life with other animals and is regularly left for long periods with them. Hens who have failed to...

Thanks for the replies. Grey Lady continues to seek company of us or the dog. Last night we penned her with another Brahma hen and she was fine with that. Today she is back in the chick pen well away from the boys and seems very happy with this. I agree it's best to keep her away from them...

Hmmmmmm, worth thinking about as all the hens have pretty bald backs at the moment, but Grey Lady just had one side of her body with a couple of holes. I currently have 3 roosters. The boys don't have spurs but do have claws, of course. However,whereas this particular girl has previously...

Gosh, Frack and Grey Lady look very much alike ( and clearly have the same strategy for being spoilt)! Don't they just love the extra treats, stroking, sympathising and general attention? So much so that I swear that our girl has put on about a pound in the last week (she was a bit underweight...

Thanks again for the replies and the concern. I will give her lots of supplements and rest. Last night she left the sanctuary of the dog's bed for a while, but was met by a wall of roos when she came out into the daylight. She squawked loudly on seeing them so I opened the door at the...

Thanks, I took a good look at the wound and it seems dry and clean still. She continues to behave oddly. She eventually emerged from the dog's bed only to be chased by the boys. When I opened the door she ran in to escape from them and just sat in the corner. I offered her sunflower seeds and...

She's a good Dark Brahma hen 9 months old......hatched a brood 7 weeks ago (broody almost from the moment she stared to egg lay). She has always been a loner, wanders off by herself, shuns all the others. I have called her the Grey Lady as she has such a proud stance and arrogant look, but she...
