Did your hen recover?

No, sadly she didn’t we had to put her to sleep as she had developed peritonitis.
Very sad, and to make things even sadder I lost my favourite chicken daisy, last month. She gradually went down hill after Lilly died. I think it was a broken heart because they were inseparable

I’m so sorry!sometimes people can’t understand how heartbreaking it is to lose a chicken, they become part of your family.

Thank you. Yes, alit of people think I’m crazy for the way I love my chickens. They are absolutely part of the family. My cats even go and hang out in the chicken area with them. They are all friends
I will get 2 more in the spring to take me back up to 5.
