Hi all,
I've been lurking on this forum for the past few years and I have found it so useful, but now it seems to be the time I need help.
I now have a lone pekin bantam, as I had to put her last friend to sleep last week as the vet said it was marek's disease. Now I'm worried about her, as getting her any new friends is out of the question as she is most likely to be infected.
She was fine the first couple of days as she was able to go and free roam the garden, but we are in the middle of a really cold snap with snow. All she is doing now is roosting all day, she will come out a couple of times when I bring a treat, drinks and her comb is bright red. Now it's probably because its just not very inviting to go out due to the weather and me being overly worried.
Is there anything else I can do for her? I go up to see her a few times a day and talk to her which I get quizzical looks back, trying all sorts of treats - she loves scrambled egg! I've just ordered a mirror and as its so cold at night (-5 degrees) I got a cosy pad that you heat up but only lasts upto 10 hrs.
She is coming up to being 5yrs old, so I know she hasn't got much time left, just don't want it to be an unhappy time for her.
Sorry for the long winded post, any advice much appreciated!
