I at least feel better that we decided to let her have her final moments surrounded by her family, next to a warm fireplace and in between some blankets c:>

Hey guys! Just a little update on Grapes. Unfortunately, she passed away last night <:'( She's always been the chicken to never be caught and run when you tried to pet her. The past week, she's been waiting for me to come home, walking into the house by herself, and letting me pick her right...

Hopefully! We've all had or fair share of bad sprains, I hope she recovers quick! I'll see how she's doing today =)

Bantams are really neat! They lay the tiniest eggs and are just fun sized little chickens. And relating to her size, my mother thinks it could possibly be my rooster trying to mate with Grapes and putting too much weight on her? She's layed about 3 or 4 eggs this year, but I'm not sure if they...

Thank you so much! She's a really sweet little chickie, but the fastest we've had! We call her Speed Racer haha

I have a few pics of her I've taken earlier this year and last year. You can see how small she is compared to my other chickens!

I fed her some warm oatmeal today! I made it a little runny to encourage her to drink. She seems to be standing a little more, but can still only move a few feet. Her spirit is still very strong though!

Thank you so much!!

She was limping and hopping around on one foot the other day, but now she can't fully put pressure on it and flops on her side. Sometimes she'll be standing though on both feet. I hope rest does help! She's a sweet little old lady

That link you sent me is such a sweet story! She seems to be kind of the same with the hen there. She definitely doesn't act sick, and is still able to eat, drink, and doesn't seem lethargic. I do agree, it probably might be something to do with old age. I've been helping her in and out of the...

My oldest chicken, Grapes, has had a leg injury the past few days. I noticed a limp a few days ago, and it's getting worse, to the point where she cannot step on that leg. She's a very old bantam golden sebright, about 9 years old. I can't see any injuries from the outside, nor feel anything...

@WiddleChix Caught another fox this morning, it seemed to be a different one but the same size. I need to catch the mom or dad of these littles. Meanwhile, Hickory is acting a little scared of me (he usually isn't, my chickens aren't afraid of me and don't run when I pick them up), but I think...

@WiddleChix It's been a while, but Hickory is a lot better! He's able to crow more, his feathers are starting to come in, his wound is healing very well, and he's standing upright. No sign of Butterscotch again, but I was able to capture a fox last night. Unfortunately it wasn't the one I was...

@WiddleChix Nothing new, I put more ointment on Hickory yesterday and he's still acting the same today. Nothing in the traps yet but I'm not giving up there. I'm gonna check the cameras tomorrow though

@WiddleChix From her previous time with sitting on a stash in the woods, i was able to find her exact spot because my mom said she saw a fluffed out hen hang around the others, then bolt back somewhere into the woods. She can't tell the difference between my brown hens, so as soon as I got home...
