Ooh, did she die today? Sorry for your loss. Must be sad and strange for you and your partner if she is gone. We all wil miss her! :hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs

How ….. 🤬🤐 Killing in spring is a crime for the law but what the boar does to your field is a crime too. And wasting so much meat is even a bigger crime.: … bind the boar on a ladder, let it bleed out, cut it in two halfs, … process everything asap. Don’t tell anyone if you have a huge...

I fermented mainly grains and added about 25% chick feed (mash).

My chickens just don’t like fermented food. Not late autumn and not late spring. The second time I used a mother from organic apple cider vinager. It worked fabulous and smelled real good. But even then they wouldn’t eat much of it. What a great picture! You should post it the POW...

Beautiful story about Amelia & Petit Blanc.. he has a beautiful character and is an amazing rooster.

Did you read the story of the oldest chicken (Guinness record). The hen was taken inside with her dayghter. And the both became extremely old. So I was thinking it probably not bad at all to let Blanche in the house if you feel comfortable with the idea too. Thanks for the paracetamol...

Wow, its really cold out there. Sorry for your struggling trees and the frozen fruit. It seems you are doing Blanche a great pleasure to get her in the warmth of the house and your company to rest. I wonder what painkiller you give her, and how much? How do you divide a tablet into equal...

I hope Blanche will find her peace before her live gets miserable. 💕 The internet 🛜 is a bit unreliable, hopefully good enough to send you a photo of one of todays highlight of our hike to the 25 cascades on Madeira.

Such sad news about your Mother. :hugs Hope you have a good time with her.

Just to share: My Tintin is a very probable a boy and Ini mini who becomes 10 yo next month is laying after her long winter break. Also glad I cant contribute in chicken illnesses. For those who lost my thread and like to read more /like to respond...

I hope she can enjoy life a bit longer. :fl The tip Molpet gave crossed my mind too. I would follow that up too, preferably with chick feed. And as Manue says, routines in when and where may help too. I wonder where do you keep her in the house? In a cage or free ranging in one of your rooms...

You have seen miracles with chickens before. But either way, she has a very good life under your and your partners care. 🤕 💙

This is sad to hear too. :hugs :hugs Hoping for a miracle or a painless passage for both your sweetheart hens.

Sorry to hear this. The experts say waterbelly is not something you can heal when its far gone (when you notice it). :hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs

I agree with Royalchick. I would keep Blanche around until she is in visible pain. With the summer coming up she might be very grateful to be around a little longer.

In this article I came across this info too: Diatomaceous earth (DE) can be used to achieve louse control. A safe and effective way to apply diatomaceous earth is to mix it with sand and allow the birds to dustbathe in the mixture. Mix ~6 cups of food grade DE with ~25 lbs (½ bag) washed play...

Good you did find the lice while they were so hard to see. Did you find feather lice or something else? Chickens and treats, the perfect combination. 😂

Some eggs if my bantams. My chickens are a little bigger than a pigeon.

Can’t you imagine Melisse being social? Maybe she is trying to activate Blanche to join the others?

Of course you know your chickens and roosters best. Let it be a comfort to know we all make mistakes. Just an idea, maybe worthwhile to think about? : To be able to go away from home it might be a good idea to make some kind of a wall in the coop, you can close and open whatever the situation...
