Dolly Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Sadly i had to have one of my hens PTS yesterday, which unfortunately leaves Bella on her own. Normally this wouldn't be an issue as I'd get her some more friends however we are going on holiday soon for 2 weeks, which means she'll be alone for at least 4 weeks In your experience, will she be okay for this period of time? She'll be staying with my family so they can keep an eye on her but I'd hate to think of her being lonely. Why does it always happen just before a holiday? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Are you planning to get more when you get back? I think she should be ok. It would be more stressful for you and her I think if you tried to rush to find her a new home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 One of mine was on her own for weeks. I didn't want my son to have to deal with introductions. Hes not big on Chuck's. She survived. And yes was before a holiday. Good luck I am sure she'll survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Thanks yes, I will be getting some friends for Bella when I return from holiday as there isn't time to do introductions before I go. I like to take time to do intros slowly and safely for them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Leia Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Our last hen solo lived for about 18 months on her own with no problems. However, she did then have a rabbit as a best friend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
