Patricia W Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Do you have anyone looking after them while you are away because it looks as though she may need some tlc> Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 She needs to be kept warm and hydrated. Have you arranged for someone to do this for you? I would worm her with Flubenvet when you get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattaz Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Bad News, I came home from Devon today and found out last night Monica Died =[[ ive been so upset all day, She was only 9 months old and she was such a great chicken, very lively too, i cant believ this happened all of a sudden. getting two new chickens tommorow called Monica the Second and Rachel. Lol i need to update my signiture. Ye i got my sister to look after the chickens but she is a beginner and was at work most of the day. i think it was just very bad timing and her unfortunate death could have been prevented. So strange i keep crying ;[ just seeing her face gets me emotional, ill miss her very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Sorry to hear you lost her, the new girls will help. Have fun with introductions it is taking me ages If they are not being very nice to each other and you are worried you can use canes across the eglu run to divide it and give them time to get used to each other.
