As much as you need the rain there, it's been way too much at once . If Betty was one of your original birds then old age probably played a role too. Fingers crossed for Penny here too !Thanks. Me too! They have nowhere to dust bathe because everything everywhere is wet…so a lot have mites too So frustrating! I’m so sad to lose Betty. She was one of the best personality silkies I’ve owned. I’m down to one original chicken from my first 5 I bought. Charlie stands alone. Still not sure about Penny yet :-( She’s not well but not as bad off either so fingers crossed :-(
