. So I just wanted to update all of you guys that assisted me with my two sick hens. Wilson is out of the woods. She is doing wonderfully. I'm very relieved. On the other hand....Brenna was so so sick. She continued to just get worse. (She had a very thick mucous in her mouth and nose. She struggled to breathe. She made a loud goose-like noise. And there was this stinky matted funk on her inner feathers. She smelled like a nasty,wet dog. She still remained one of the sweetest hens I've ever had. Too bad the meds weren't enough. ) I hated seeing her suffer. And my husband and I decided that for her sake and the safety of the flock,to send her to heaven to be with Hope. So as I write,I'm in tears. I have never culled a chicken. The only way I was comfortable with was using my .22. One shot,one kill. Instant. No suffering. Its devastating to me,but I know it was necessary. I will NEVER ever get chickens from just any ole someone!!!! And not separate them at first..... Stupid on my part. I'm praying that no other bird gets sick. The water is medicated. Would y'all please pray with me? Thank you again for all the advice.
So cool! He'll probably want organic feed & quinoa soon!Baby Whole Foods is out!!
