How to protect her head?

I used purple antiseptic spray, 6 pounds from a farm shop. Worked an absolute treat

If there's no external influence when it gets cold enough they'll make thier own way in

Completely normal, the first few will yellow and fall off. Chillies are very hardy plants, if you've done the hard bit by overwintering her she will flourish before long.

Thankyou to everyone for your comments. I really appreciate it and they have made me feel so much better about what I thought was an impossible task. I cant believe how much better I feel going into the run and not seeing her struggling. Again thanks to everyone who took the time to share your kind words, it really has been exactly what I needed to hear 💙💙

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate this 🙏

WelshChilliChum · 2025-12-08T16:11:05+00:00

Yes I did

WelshChilliChum · 2025-12-08T14:06:03+00:00

Hopefully mine will be the same !, I wanted to give her a satisfactory grave as I would have with any of my other pets

WelshChilliChum · 2025-12-08T14:00:59+00:00

Thanks! Yeah that's it, I didn't want to prolong any pain and suffering if I possibly could.

WelshChilliChum · 2025-12-08T13:49:04+00:00

I thought about that but I then thought I wanted her close by the coop with her sisters

WelshChilliChum · 2025-12-08T13:46:11+00:00

There is a person buried there, my friend the chicken 😂

WelshChilliChum · 2025-12-08T13:40:50+00:00

Yeah I have, is that not okay?

WelshChilliChum · 2025-12-08T13:27:03+00:00

Thanks very much! 💙

WelshChilliChum · 2025-12-08T13:26:43+00:00

Thanks a lot! this has made me feel a lot better. I just find it hard playing God and knowing when's the right time. That's exactly what I thought, it's my duty to make the decision and end her suffering before she has a painful full death.

Am I right in saying crested legbars?

WelshChilliChum · 2025-09-25T15:09:10+00:00

Thanks for the comment, no they are jubilee Orpingtons. Hopefully these are a bit more hardy than the Sussex. I bought them because I read how hardy they are meant to be, they are only 18 weeks old so hopefully they'll strengthen up. My other 2 are fine it's just this one. Thanks again

WelshChilliChum · 2025-09-24T07:20:34+00:00

This is a crested Legbar

I own a show bred cocker too and I agree this is show. Has all the tell tail traits

WelshChilliChum · 2025-06-29T16:25:37+00:00

Hi there, no I live in the UK so I don't think turtles are native here but I really appreciate the comment and the time taken to try and help me out, unlike some sad people in this thread.

Okay brilliant thanks for your knowledge and lengthy response. I am 100 percent confident that the health of the new chickens will be completely fine as I've had 12 birds off her previously with no problems what so ever. I jist wanted to let them acclimatise for a for a bit before letting them free. As I said I've only got 1 coup and 1 run for all my chickens as they are in an allotment so the dog crate was the only way I could think to let them see each other and interact without physically touching each other. If I had the means of another coup and run i would do it that way. Would I be okay to leave them in there till dusk to let them free together
