NoelleShe arrived here a month ago the last survivor of a small folck of 5. I was told she is so old it was doubtful she would survive the winter. She hadn't laid an egg in over a year. I thought she'd fit in just fine as my hens are all retired from egg laying.
She was very thin. I offered her food and she gorged herself. After 2 weeks, all the food she wanted including greens and oyster shell, and egg arrived. There has been one each day since. I suspect the other members of the flock starved to death.
