Continuing the thoughts re mareks and vaccination: I was talking to a chicken breeder today and she said that although a lot of chickens are now vaccinated against mareks if they get stressed or run down they can still get it.

Brilliant news HenPen and Wiggy

Clover, you clever girl still laying whilst looking so beautiful
Both of my girls are starting to come through the other side of their moults, I can't wait for them to have their full coats back.

Thoughts are with you Mike.

How is she doing today?

I always think it is such a good sign when they do not want to be looked after, sign of recovery and inner strength. Good luck with her continued spirit

Well done for giving them a new home and fresh start Before you separate them it is worth thinking first of maybe putting several feeding posts in, so that they can easily all eat and drink without issue. I am sure you have already thought of putting in hiding places into the run so that she can sep...

Good luck Blossom with your treatment, I hope it gets rid of the infection. for being such a good patient.

I am presuming it was laid by Marigold who has had to cope with an infection a couple of months ago, followed by a period of diarrhoea which she seems to recently be battling. She is only about 3 years old, but seems happy, potters in the garden and eats lots of mealworms etc at the end of the day

Thanks. I have now been able to search them and seen a variety of pics
Apparently my hen may stop laying soon? Good to know.

Nice to hear I am not alone.... I've had my girls for 2 1/2 years now and never bought an egg in that time till the last week. Both girls have been moulting but are now starting to show their new feathers and promise to be even more beautiful

Please help: I have found an egg shaped, cream mass in their nesting box. It is quite firm but when cut in half is cream all the way through, like solid skin mass?! Does anyone know what this is? Sorry for the bad description but quite difficult to describe, should have taken a picture

Awww: first time I've seen that (and already watched it twice )

Good luck: let us know how you get on

Sorry to hear about your Amber
