So sorry for your loss, she was a pretty little hen, and I’m sure she wouldn’t have had a better life anywhere else. Sometimes there’s just nothing we can do

It has some medicinal too. That's the part I can't remember...

This site has some basics.

My herbalism teacher called it bandaid weed. If you are cut in the woods crush or chew a bit, put on wound and then tie with a second leaf. Works best with long leaf varieties.

Oh, Lauren, I am so sorry to hear this. You have had a rough time as of late with the girls.

Any idea what is wrong?

She had absolutely no meat on her, the vet thought she may not have developed an immunity to coccidia and wasn’t absorbing nutrients. She seemed to be improving for a few days, then became very weak in the legs. I buried her with a piece of cheese to pay the ferryman, and a bit of rockmelon to snack on for the journey.

I want to friggin scream! Found stick tight fleas all over Shenandoah’s face tonight. I had to take her off her perch and administer Vaseline directly on those blood sucking pests. I have to clean out the coop and run again due to this. Where one infestation is, there is bound to be more. I also have to check my own body and clothing as well. I hate this!!!!!!!

Xzit has had me pinned down for several hours. She overheated in the coop, and prefers to stand/sit on my chest. (In the air conditioning) View attachment 3144948

She has you were she wants you

So sorry - such a lovely little lass, sorry that she couldn't stay longer.

We've been getting some.....more is much desired.

Feast of famine here, right now it's a feast.
