Granny's gone and done it again

I wanted phoenix at one time. They are so pretty!

They are! I absolutely love them, I’m really sorry to have to let them go.

Sounds like you have a colorful egg basket!

Indeed I do. My Asian Black has started laying a pale pink egg with white speckles or a white egg with pink speckles.

1 year old since April

Then probably too young for reproductive problems to show...

Did you give her a thorough exam? Check her crop (shouldn't be hard or squishy), vent should be clean, keel bone (chest bone) should have some muscle attached, overall weight, eyes/nostrils/beak healthy, parasite free (look at the skin, under the wings, all around her tail). Mites can be small, so look carefully.
The only other thing I can think of is she might have a minor injury... came down too hard off the roost and sprained something. Watch how she walks and see if she is favoring one side.

Try some yogurt, plain full fat.

Excellent idea!! That's my first aid treatment for any digestive trouble. Usually works great if you are in the early stages.

I would go with the cat! One of our cats years ago brought in a live mouse and dropped it by the fireplace!

Cats are indoor only. Although Dummo (my nickname for Henry) escapes into the garage occasionally. It could have come from there. Maybe rode in on the dog? It's a mystery.

No limp, no mites/lice (checked underwings, underside, and under vent), no limping, and no injuries still. One of her sisters dies of reproductive issues...hoping she does not have it. Nothing in her crop since she is not eating.

I am outside right now, I will check on her when I get back home.

You can try to force some sugar water or look up home made electrolyte solution. Might perk her up enough to eat something. Plain yogurt should be some of the first food.
History of reproductive issues... that could be it.

When I was a young girl living in Ky I had bantams. They slept in the trees at night. I started with a pair and ended up with tons. I never had to do anything special with them. Throw some cracked corn down on the ground once a day. They foraged for their food. Drank from the creek.

That’s the kind to have!

 

[jane s chickens]

Could you find any of the bantams eggs?

yummy, baked ? I would like some fish. Sounds good.
I tried the new Prime rib cheese steak from arbys today. Thats all I have ate. It was pretty decent

My husband has been having fish every single day on his vacation! He's been fishing a lot.
