Timmy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 On Monday i went to open my chickens up and poor old marmalade was very wably on her feet and not able to peck properly I then went to buy some netting from Omlet and i told them about Marmalade and they said either a stuck egg or... something worse If she does not get better by Saturday then Omlet will take her away to a happy place. (v. sad atm) We did all the things they said - check the egg hole and put her in a bowl of steaming water (well not actually in ...) And there is no change at the moment so i am preparing for the worst. In addition to my new chicken which i will get to replace Marmalade i MAY want to get another differnt type of chicken. So i have 2 things: 1. Is their anything that i can/should do for Marmalade 2. What type of chicken should i get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa33 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I can't answer your questions, but just wanted to say I hope Marmalade gets better and she doesn't have to go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tara123 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Sorry I can't offer any advice as I'm new to keeping chickens and don't know an awful lot yet, but I do hope Marmalade gets better soon. Keep us all posted on how she does xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) Sad for you , but she was obviously poorly and so it is for the best I'm sure. I hope you have a lot of fun with Marmaladea; do you have any photos? Edited February 10, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
