Last year our family decided to get a couple pet chickens after hearing about the benefits of fresh eggs, the beauty of chickens, and of course their general spunk. Unfortunately a recent divorce and some financial issues are now forcing us to move, and we were going to have to rent a place that will not let us keep our chickens. But to make our problems worse one of our two sweet Japanese Black-Tailed bantams died during this already difficult period. It's been some time and our remaining girl is not doing so well. She hasn't laid an egg in a good while...I'm not sure if this is a normal thing because of the winter season, or if it's because she's stressed.
I won't be able to keep her anymore soon because of the move, so I was wondering if anybody here would be willing to take in a hen that isn't laying at the moment, or provide the name of a shelter/rescue for chickens. I'm shy about giving her to just anyone, though, because I'm a vegan and would hate for anything bad to happen to her. She's less than two years old, likes to cluck, and has gone out for walks and worn a diaper before.
Also if anyone could give me some advice on how to cheer her up that would be really great.
Thank you!
