The dark patch is actually new feather shoots

So can it be a bone

 

[GGBEAR]

I think it felt more rounded than thin my other question is if it is indeed a roo who do I contact to take it as I could not keep it due to noise and how on earth can it's bone be there
My lot have pecked a bit but I've not seen em with baseball

Just decreased the flock from 7 to 5. One of my wife's colleague's was after some more for his flock. So he's taken the aggressive leghorn and the brown chick. He has a flock of 7 already which are completely free range so they went to a decent home. Leaves us with the other leghorn two banthams and two unknown chicks. So one layer will do for now and well see what the two chicks end up being!

Oh dear, it must be very under the weather, love the bivvy by the way! That's a great idea for its use.

Hi everyone.

I've not LinkedIn for a while .
I still have a poorly Sussex hen.

She is hardly walking and is breathing through her mouth.

Any ideas?

Her poppy bum has stayed fairly clean n I think that maybe she is just to feathery.

She has been sitting more and more.

I'm so sorry You did all you could and the end will have been peaceful for her
At least you know you were not going crazy and it was a bone you were feeling,

Has she laid recently? Eating, drinking? How does her crop feel? Is she panting like she is hot?
