It's a sad night in our chicken yard. Remember my penguin walking blue Langshan chicken Jewel? She's the one in my avatar. I had my DH put her down this evening. She took a turn for the worse this week and spent most of her time hiding from our head chicken and her enforcers. They were jumping on her every time they could and the back of her head had scabs from them pecking out her feathers. They must have known that things were not right with her. She also stopped laying eggs last week and was breathing with her mouth open. I think that she could have had liver problems or major problems with her egg equipment. The problems started within a week or 2 of her starting to lay. She was one of my favorites and it was a hard decision to make but it was for the best for her. RIP Jewel!

I'm very sorry

So sorry to hear the sad news Debi...you've really had a hard time lately

Back in the USA now and it took forever to go through 10 days worth of posts this morning! ACK!!

Chickengirl1304....darn it just this am sold the olive eggers I had (only jubilee orps and mille fleur leghorns available now), but Sarah (mycutekitties) has lots of eggs available or she will hatch as well, I believe.

I'm getting Red Orpington chicks from Greenfire and 15+ Blue double laced barnevelder chicks from Fancy chicks this week!! (I'll have extra barnevelders avail in case someone "needs" them!)

At any rate, had a wonderful time at our home in Cabo, took out our sailing kayak and floated next to whales 50 yards away. It was an amazing experience.








This guy and his friends were waiting for the fishermen to come in and clean their fish!

Wb Cheryl! Sounds wonderful.

I have some olive eggers , dark popping out now, but I don't know how close you are. I don't have any more eggs they are all fcbm now. I caught Mario's stupid cough this morning, so annoying!

Quote: Hmmm, I just sold 5 hens to someone from Nevada Co and they included a GLW & EE. Did they also buy chicks & hatching eggs?

 

[chicksnthestiks]

Thank you everyone! I keep telling myself that it is silly to be upset but feelings just happen. She was part of the first group of chicks that I hatched and we chose her to stay in our layer flock with a hatchmate who has crippled feet. I have a soft spot for underdogs and Jewel was that. Plus, I nursed her inside for a couple of weeks hoping that I could make a difference and that makes for a strong bond. My DH thinks that my nursing is the kiss of death but I was able to nurse my OE back to health! I just wish that it had worked for Jewel.

So sorry you lost your girl. My husband says the same thing although he is a nurse and supports me helping them. I just have to give them a chance.
