Yes but i prefer jeyes if you have it

They are probably gone by now but are completely harmless and will do no damage. It is also a criminal offence to disturb the nest if they are bumblebees.

I have chooks and also rescue hedgehogs. They are utterly harmless to chickens and are very endangered so need all the help they can get nowadays.

Unfortunately there is nobody. Its really sad. :(. Everyone else has settled in so well but unless she has lots of FR time she just paces the run. There are so many foxes here that I just cant risk leaving her out unsupervised either ;(

Just in case some of the regulars dont see the other homes board often. Thanks guys

Thanks so much Kitla that is a big help. So people know, Ariadne also came from me and I know Kitla is very fond of her and she has fitted in. I believe she also even befriended a tiny little blind hen Giblet is that correct Kitla? She is so lovely. She looks really happy there :) Love your updates

Hi all I have recently increased my flock and travelled quite a long way to obtain new hens. All have settled in apart from June who paces up and down my fixed run like a caged lion. All the others are quite happy but she is only happy when she is free ranging. She may well settle in a larger fixed ...

That is very sad :( just a thought, you deffo dont have redmite do you? I have known it kill just like this?

Yes, a vet is definitely the right thing. Chicks can go downhill very quickly and its not worth the risk

As I said on your other thread, Mike, I suspect you do have egg eaters. Often IME there is no evidence, they eat the shells and all and my hens even ate the albumen-y and yolky shavings too so no evidence until I caught them at it.

Glad my tip worked

If she is acting normally and living a happy life which it sounds like she is; I would see if the vet will give you more meds for a week and see how she goes. It may sort itself out x good luck

Very true Dom - thats what happens when on a phone and no time to type a long answer , I agree with all you say :)

Chickens dont get out of breath they get respiratory infections which can and will spread to your whole flock, and kill. Vets asap.
