Oh bless, i hope these signs are promising for Jemima and she recovers quickly I guess in a day or so you will hopefully notice if she is recovering ok. You are doing your best. Joffrey did have a wheezy speel and loose droppings a while back. I think he had a bit of a cold, he still is a bit wheezy when he rushes about the garden and I pick him up and notice it. 3 and a half years I guess can still be young for a hen? In not sure how long they live for im guessing at least 6 years ? hopefully a lot longer than that. Apparently we are due some more bad weather soon, so I guess hatches down for a day or two.That's funny. Joffrey picking on your partner! They both want your attention! I just remembered didn't joffrey have a poorly stage not so far back? I guess he's fine now.
Jemima had a quiet night in my livingroom and boy did she smell! She had some sweetcorn and pellets this morning and wanted out so she is back in the run today. Her poop seems a little bit more brown and pasty today not so liquidy, so I hope that means an improvement. I will be keeping a very close eye on her. She can probably come back in later. And my broody brahma betty is also back outside after two nights in the cage in my garage. Bless her. Big silly hen she is! Thankyou for your help and advice. My hens mean the world to me especially jemima as she is the last of my original hens. If she goes because of old age that will be hard enough but if it's something treatable then I must do everything I can. She's only 3 1/2 yrs.
