redhotchick Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Very sorry to hear you lost one of your chickens. I've had my 2 a little over 3 weeks now and I'm so fond of them already. How very upsetting for you. Hope you get a new friend for Mabel soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alih Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 really sorry to hear about Maud - absolutely awful for you and her. I had 2 chooks from Omlet, one fo which dies after 3 weeks. They recommend I get a new one straight away as the remaining chook can get very lonely and it can be more difficult to merge them. I spoke to a lovely chicken lady near here who said that as mine were so young introducing 1 should not be a problem. I got one staright away - different breed - the same day in fact, and popped her in at night with Pumpkin. The next few days i kept them in the run together so the new one could get used to her new home. There was a bit of squabbling but after a day or 2 it sorted itself out and now they are best mates. I would suggest getting one straight away if you can bear to as your chook will love you for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogs and chickens Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I have no idea as to how this could have happened, I just wanted to say how sorry I was for you, you poor love, how awful. I brought two Meadowsweet birds today - White stars, they are lovely looking birds, and the meadowsweet agent was really helpful, and you get to choose your chicken out of the pen, which I really enjoyed! I added them to the cube at about 4p.m and they were all huddled up happily this evening, I guess that was very lucky! Good luck with your new girl/girls Bless you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
