I am so sorry to report that we lost two chickens in a week. On Saturday June 11, we found Honey in the coop. It was sort of sad losing her, but she was the least friendly of the girls. So it wasn't that big of a loss.On Friday, June 17, we lost Phyllis. She was such a delightful and entertaining chicken. She was always a hit at the nursing home chicken programs. She was named after Phyllis Diller because of her wild hair. My favorite picture of Phyllis was taking on a rainy, muddy day, and she really was having a bad hair day.
We immediately disinfected the coop and their area, Treated them for inside and outside parasites. We did everything we could think of to stop this, even though we don't know the cause. My hope is to get one or two new hens in mid July.
