We cleaned Betty's comb with Vetericyn and applied some ointment. Looks better already. Chewy was just abusive. After her first aid she got a treat of scrambled eggs (her eggs). The extra protein boost will help her heal. Love this baby girl!

Bittersweet day. We made the decision to rehome Chewy. He's a sweet boy but really had it in for our sweetest hen, Betty. It wasn't fun to watch Betty live in fear. So we found a rooster rescue nearby where he will have lots of friends (hens, roosters, ducks, geese). We're sad to see him go. We hope to get updates about how he's doing. 😞❤️

Glad we added a few more girls last year. We did lose Francesca, probably to a racoon. We miss her. She had the coolest comb! 😢

Francesca's comb is so cute!

Another day, another sad goodbye. Today I buried Spaz (photo - left). This was the last good photo of her next to Copper who we lost last month.

Spaz was a nut. Early in life no one could get near her, hence her name. But in the last year she slowed down a lot. Since Copper died she slowed down even more. She was at the top of the pecking order for about a month. This loss will leave a power vacuum at the top. She died peacefully in the coop with her family. She was 7.5 years old. 💔

Dilly normally hides her eggs anywhere but the coop. I was surprised to see her in there on an egg (not hers). I took the egg and left. Then she left. So I put all of the eggs (six) in the nest boxes. I checked later and Dilly was in one of the boxes laying her egg. What a good girl!

Not what I wanted to do today, but here it is. This post goes into some detail and may be hard for some people to read. So, WARNING.

9 years and 4 months old. That's how old Copper was. She was the longest living chicken we've ever had. But today we had to say goodbye. As animals age, systems break down. The immune system being one of them. Copper has been slow moving for a while, but a vet visit a few months ago assured us that she was in great shape for her age.

Today she was laying in the coop. Odd for her. I'd noticed she wasn't preening her bottom well and the p**p had built up. (chicken life). So I decided to give her butt a good cleaning. After cleaning her up a bit I had a look and BAM! Immediately knew it was time to say goodbye. We took her directly to the vet for euthanasia. She was ready. No fight left. Chickens, like many prey animals, don't let you know when they're sick until it's too late.

Chickens can get an issue called flystrike. When the immune system and grooming aren't good, flies can lay eggs in open wounds or in or around the cloaca. The eggs hatch into maggots and the maggots kill and eat the into the host. In this case, Copper. It's as horrifying as it sounds. We have had 2 cases in the 10 years we've been chicken tenders. And this was, by far, the worst case. Matilda was the other hen and she was our oldest at the time.

So copper is no longer suffering. She was an amazing girl. Head-bitch-in-charge. All of the other girls respected her stature. When it was feeding time, no one messed with her. She was so gentle and kind to the rest of the flock. There will never be another. Her breed was Black Copper Marans. 💔

New egg layers are the cutest!

Sometimes a first egg is wonky. This is Skittles' first egg. Case in point. Lol. She was chilling under the trailer. Not her best photo. She's a bit skittish. Skittles is the perfect name and we didn't know she would grow into it when we named her. ❤️
