Oh. My. Goodness! So glad everyone is alright.

I'm sorry. I wish more people were prepared to give these birds a go. They have loads of personality & are really pretty though not really suitable for a backyard flock. As I've said, they are fliers, fence hoppers & screamers & given the right conditions they will go broody, though they are...

The Campine was originally bred in Belgium & come in 2 colours: silver & gold. They are now quite rare worldwide ~ probably because they aren't easy to keep. All of mine have been fliers, fence hoppers, & great foragers. Even the half acre I am presently on isn't big enough to contain my...

Ha'penny is a Campine. They are considered super flighty & not suitable chickens for beginners. They are completely mad. She is the last of the 5 I had & my oldest chicken now, but not my lead hen.she is too flighty & independent. On the other hand Portia is a frizzled Wyandotte. They are...

@BY Bob : Just for you; Portia showing off her fluffy pantaloons... And because you love her so, the notorious Ha'penny.

I like 1. It is different to the usual *fall colours* look & illustrates the fading season & coming cold really well, I think.

You wouldn't, you know. You don't have the space. Remember how over ambitious some of mine are. Ha'penny & her 20 + eggs? 🙄

Actually, I have 5 broodies out of 9. World doesn't share with anyone & Tsuri was late to the party.:he @ BY Bob thinks they're hysterical. I don't think he'd find them so funny if they were his! 🫤

I haven't been on BYC much @ all. I have had a lot going on, not all of it pleasant. My flock is down to 9. All the Vorwerks are gone. Can't say I'm sorry about that. They were a lot of trouble for not much positive. My only blue layer seems to have quit entirely. She laid 2 pigeon sized...

I have voted. TY for the tag. I did try to respond yesterday but my phone decided to have a spac attack over multi~quotes & put up something very odd instead. 😑

Nn

I'm so sorry RC. I know she was one of your originals! :hugs For what it's worth, of all the chickens I've owned, of my originals only 2 made it past 4 years. Ha'penny & Luna are from my 2nd batch & heading for 6. Alpia, Wrold & Beatha are in their 5th year...so most of my girls barely made it...

:hugsOh, Michelle! :hugs

I am so, so sorry. :hugs All the hugs. :hugs

I wasn't suggesting it was a production problem. And of course I don't know what it's like in the States, but here there is a pretty small gene pool for fancy breeds & that can lead to problems ~ all I'm saying. 'Cause I've lost so many birds who shouldn't have died. Look @ the Vorwerks. Of the...

Ditto. We have had discussions about poor breeding @ different times. I suspect that more than anything. Again, NOT your fault. :hugs I'm so sorry this is happening. It is devestating I know.

I'm so sorry, RC. That just highlights how lucky MJ is with her vet. I was hoping the link would be useful & produce better results than that. :hugs

Just popping in to share a site that may be helpful to some as I know getting a good vet, let alone an avian vet can be almost impossible. https://www.aav.org/search/custom.asp?id=1803

I am home & recovering well. Thank you for asking. Missy is lovely! 🥰
