She is about 2 years old and a buff orpington. Just recently she lost her best friend a little Easter egger that she always protected from the other chickens (but could not protect from a raccoon)Sometimes a chicken "drops a softie" -- especially new layers, chickens going into or coming out of molt, or a bird who has been through a stressful event.
If it's a one-off it's nothing to worry about.![]()
Thank you I just put a bowl of crushed oyster shell out for everyoneGive her crushed Oyster shell.
Awww, you love your chickensShe is about 2 years old and a buff orpington. Just recently she lost her best friend a little Easter egger that she always protected from the other chickens (but could not protect from a raccoon)They were always together and snuggling and you know how they can be just really cute with her arm over the little ee's back when they would sleep together at night and I think that was really stressful for her because she lost her best little buddy and she also just got through with a late molt .So with all of this kind of stress it makes sense I'm hoping that she feels better soon.I just love this little girl she's very sweet and would lay a perfect golden egg pretty close to almost every day. I'm feeding them 20% protein. I upped the protein a little bit thinking maybe that's what they needed
Thank you very much for replying to me this is such a wonderful sight to be on thank you again.
This is like a 'new' layer.and she also just got through with a late molt
