I'd say try charging for him. If no takers then say you'll let him go for free.

I say charge. It helps weed out the no-gooders.

So, I got Henrietta situated. During the day, I have had her in a detached pen. The baby chicks seem to be very fond of her and spend their time around her when they are out. She slipped through her attached pen and wanted to stay with Dorothy and the babies. It broke my heart to put her back on her side.
Dorothy and the chicks are to her right and the others are on the backside. I have the chicks food where Henny can get to part of it and I saw her eating when they were eating. She wanted to go to the coop and sleep with everyone else and seemed lost but she finally got in her warm doggy box when it was dark. I wrapped the doggy box with plastic and taped it down to keep the wind out. I also put a piece of foam, heating pad and doggy pads down. Tomorrow the low is 45. She has lost most of her long raggedy feathers, now all the small, soft ones on her undercarriage are coming out. They amount of feathers she has growing back in is unreal! That poor chicken was half bald.

It seems like having others eating near her may trigger her to eat.


Come on Henny! You can do it!







Seems odd since her nickname is the same as my online nickname.

Hahaha!! If it helps, I call her Henny Henny.

True. This evening all the chickens were gathering around her. Hopefully things are looking up, if her poops will stay normal!!!! And they have been for the most part.

Sassy, maybe she's depressed they do get depressed. But like Henny said being around the others perked her up a little bit. Maybe you could start giving her some visitation time? Couldn't hurt at this point, right?

Quiche is the bomb ya'll! At least my quiche is, made a meaty one for hubs. Mine is pepper jack, tomato and onion simple but really good. Hubs quiche is ham, tomato, onion and cheddar.

The chicks put themselves to bed again tonight. I will count that as a win.

Itty Bitty is sitting with Miss May again tonight. Miss May is in the bottom nest box at night for the last 9 days running. She is eating a bit in the mornings. I guess so long as she gets up and about in the mornings and I see her eat she is ok (ish).

Crooky is doing well enough even though she is naked in large areas. I see new feathers coming in.

I was thinking depression today too. I will give them time together when I get back. They are all in the same pen, but hardware cloth divided into 3 sections and Henny cannot get to the coop. I think she would do fine with Dorothy and the babies, because Dorothy is the boss lady. They will all be standard hens too.

I love Quiche. The last couple I did were sausage and Swiss.
