I am sad. My poor old silky Sage is totaly blind. I noticed that I was able to catch her very easy and when I put her down I noticed she was a bit unsteady on her feet. I know she is old and not laying anymore but then today I saw her shuffling along with her beak to the ground. I went over and waved my hand in front of her face and then picked her up and she never did any blinking. The eyes are not clouded but no responce. She isn't interested in food. Chickens most eat with their eyes more than smell. Poor old dear was such a good nanny bird. She took under her wing literaly Ivan and then 3 young chicks I put with the flock. I can't let her suffer if she isn't eating! I don't know how to put her down if that is the best thing!
It is good to see everyone again! There are lots of familiar faces, and lots of new ones, too
Mikey D - what are these shirts that you are talking about? Did I miss an oportunity to submit some of my amazing artwork??
What kind of chicks are you raising this time? I've read that mixing ground oatmeal into their food prevents the sticky butt.
Macaroni! - What type of chickens do you have these days? You usually have the best! I'll have to remember your offer
Arizonachicken - that egg made me cringe! Did the chicken need an episiotomy?
Rufus - thank you for the weed tips! I wish I could get some globemallow started. The seeds I took from Gallo haven't sprouted yet.
itsredcandy - cute coop!
AZKat - EE's are the best!
Mama Hen Chris - great pics!
I am a Mama again!!! Just brought home these 2 tuckered out EE's. They are 2 days old. Next week, hopefully, I get Silver Laced Wyandottes and Cuckoo Marans.
Miley is happy to have babies again.
