Well my sis and I pulled carpet and started getting wallpaper down. I found out I have a secret passage too! For some reason the front closet in the living room connects to the bedroom closet. LOL My dad and I talked about what trees around the coop need to come down and I found out there is a pear tree and plumb trees right there. There are two way overgrown apple trees. A mulberry tree and a surprise cherry tree.

On a sad note I lost my CC girl. She wasn’t herself for a few days and when I checked her she was covered in pin feathers. So I thought an early molter. Last night she was sleeping on the floor. When I checked on her this morning her crop was full. I massaged it a little and left for house work. I got back and she was slumped on the coop floor. I have her some oil and sat and massaged her crop some more. It was like dough. I noticed her butt was a little dirty so I though a warm salt bath would be good. Clean her up and maybe get things moving. While she soaked she pulled her head back and I saw it ticking. I knew she wasn’t right. I pulled her out of the water and held her. She made a strange honk noise, flapped her wings and died.
Everyone else seems fine. No idea....

I am so sorry!

I have had that happen before.

It does not sound contagious but if another one dies, can you send in for a necropsy?
 
Cappy, :wee:ya:wooton finding your girl.

PBM, your DH is awesome. It was extremely thoughtful of him to make you something so that you'll always have Lafayette with you, and that he understands how much Lafayette means to you.

:hugs:hugs:hugs:love:love:love for everyone.


I know, right?! He is incredibly creative and talented.

Now even if Lafay croaks, I will still have my BBC gate for all eternity, lol!
 
I feel really bad like I should have caught something sooner. But that ticking of the head makes me think there wasn’t anything I could have done.
Chickens just die sometimes. There is not much you can catch because they hide illness
