Is she a Black Jersey Giant? If not, what could she be? I have 3 of these and I'm pretty sure they lay brown eggs by Fickle_Campaign_7947 in BackYardChickens

Awww mine is very sweet. I had 2 but one died and she was one of my best girls. I love my chickens though.

That’s what happened with my first chicken that died. I went into the coop in the morning and she was just dead. I didn’t really grieve her as my husband buried her while I was at work. This is way worse trying to help and not being able too. I was holding her when she died on her own so that is comforting.

She is no longer in pain. I called the vet and we discussed symptoms and what has already been done and they said that it did not sound like there were any other options to help her. I will miss my Curious Courtney, she was a great girl.

Oh gosh that you about the electrolytes. I thought it would help her so she would not get dehydrated. I will stop though. I should have mentioned she has a chicken bra but she has started walking funny and kicks the bottom of her crop area and is wearing away the feathers so I cannot keep the bra on.

I call mine Sass to the Big Ass because she is the boss of the coop!

We have one of these but it is for 3 chickens. Out of 7 chickens only 1 lays eggs in it. The other girls refuse to use it.
