Solitary chicken - need advice

[doctors girls]

donna passed away on friday she went very quickly stopped laying last monday went all puffy and hunched up and her tail was down she didnt interact with the free ranging sessions and was not bothered with the treats (mixed corn) i only had her 18 weeks and also i had a bluebelle that only lasted 8 weeks from the same farm so i have rang them to see if they have had any other issues from customers and hopefully they are going to contact me this week looks like i will have to keep my on Amy as she was bought at the same time

so sorry to hear rthis its awful when u lose them : (

[gavclojak]

ah bless you, its so unfair when you think they haven't really had that long with you. I am sure it was just bad luck and hope the other lady is fine

[Chortle Chook]

Oh how disappointing and upsetting for you. I am sorry

[coco]

Its hard to lose them especially when you haven't had them that long. I lost a girl today so sympathise with you. It happened very quickly from not quiet right last night to me putting her out of her misery when I came in from work. At least it was quick. Hopefully your other hen will be ok.

Hello, I had the same issues/concerns too! Lost about 5 chooks over 4 months. Some I had only had a week, one about a month and so on. One had respiratory disease, and one an egg problem but three unexplained. As have now had no issues for 3 weeks am putting it down to just one of those things and bad luck, but it is very upsetting at the time as you think you are doing something wrong. It's just one of those things and I bet your other wee chook will be just fine.
