Chicken bald back

[JellyBean2605]

I've had to make the hard decision to seek a new home for Henrietta, she was OK over the summer but recently (and especially since she's had to be confined) she's become very downcast and been pulling out her feathers due to boredom. She's 3 and a half now so probably hasn't got long left but if anyone has any ideas of a better home for her I'd be greatful.

Don't write her off she can live the same time again. If you don't know anyone then perhaps ask where you buy your feed if they can put you in touch with anyone. Also the feather pulling may be a dietary problem so a tonic may help her.

[Valkyrie]

Find a friend for her?

[Blackrocksrock]

Some of my black rocks lived to aged 7 and a half so she is not past her sell by date by a long shot, why not get another?

My Brahma is at least 8

[The Dogmother]

I had an 11 year old pekin

[Valkyrie]

Pekin will be 9 this year and the ratbag will be 8.

 

Edited to add maybe there is another lonely chicken somewhere that needs a companion. I wonder if they'd fight or be just happy to have a friend?
