Chirping
She is 2 years old, my favorite girl. Here’s a little backstory:
I had 6 chickens, then two months ago one of my silkies wasn’t coming out of the run, but was still walking and eating, then I found her dead one day leaned over as if she died in her sleep. Then a month or so after that my buff Orpington was not walking so I treated her for egg bound but to no avail, took her to vet, and she said she had some respiratory thing and gave me meds to give her for 2 weeks, well it’s been a month now and she sits all day long, but she will get up for food but then sit back down. She has lost a lot of weight and because of this she cannot walk due to weakness. Other than not walking she seems happy however what life is that? I don’t want to go back to the vet because we don’t want to pay for the huge bill that will accrue, and it costs $100 for euthanasia. I am worried that she may be spreading something because last week another silkie died and it was sitting next to her. What would you do?

I’ll be praying for peace and comfort
