    Am back after hen tragedy

    Hi all...sorry I haven't been on in a while and disappeared without explanation. We had a hen death, followed by a sick hen that has taken me weeks to turn around. So here we are again and I am starting to get out and taste fresh air again, which is great.
    Anyway apologies for beggaring off without explanation!

                Cheers all guys - sorry Snadger and Flo. Hi Miss Z - got something for you - we must meet again. Been touch and go - to top it all Madeline has decided to start with laboured breathing again so am off to the vets again. Think I'll ask for a booster/tonic for myself. Do need that coffee though Z
                Nice to speak with you all again HF and AP. have missed the forum greatly.

                    Bad new I'm afraid. Despite everything we have lost her this morning. I don't know what we are doing wrong, because we scrupulously clean everything, best feed, wormed, organic veg, kept red mite/louse free. Everything we could do we've done. Yet still we lose two hens like this. I just don't understand. She was my favourite too. Me and Mr VVG are gutted.

                          I'm sure its not something you are doing wrong , its probably something foreign coming in from other birds. We get very attached to our chooks VVG, I had to give my favourite away last week, as she was defeathering the others. All attempts to stop her have failed, she is now in a new home where she is no longer top billing.
                          I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus.

                            Chest infection but I am not convinced. There was a dead pigeon under my car three weeks ago and when I've stopped balling my eyes out I am going to call the RSPB as I think MW is right. We must have something from the wild bird population. I feel like I've lost a dear old friend. I loved her to bits. She had her beak in strawberries yesterday and yet less than 24 hours later she's gone.
