Thanks for ur input
About introducing a Rooster I already did although for the past 4days now there's not bin peace, Mira & Cindy keep chasing the two Roosters, don't want to see them at all. I know it's cus they're new to the environment.

Anyways about popping an egg dat wouldn't b necessary, I knew from tym the only thing I've done is change their food, more of rice and millet now.

Mira layed about 7eggs and she has started covering them and acting protective over them.

RYEOFARMS:

Seems your hen is a WELSUMER (WELSUMER are a breed of chicken from Dutch,bred mainly for ornamental purposes... perhaps if you later decide to later create an IG handle,follow us on IG @ ryeo_animal_world if you would like to know more about the breed and other various types of chicken breeds)
By the way,nice thread keep it up

slimcassi:

Thanks for the heads-up, will do to check out ur IG page when I'm chanced.

About what u said Mira been a "WELSUMER" the key word there is 'seems' but she isn't. I did a few research from what u said and I could see some similarity, Mira looks like the breed but every other thing doesn't apply.

The WELSUMER breed are bred mainly for egg production, a wels can lay over 160+ eggs a year. Correct me if I'm wrong but over here in Nigeria I think they're referred to as Layers.

All the same tho, thanks for your input and I'm looking forward to ur IG Handle.

Below is a WELSUMER, you can see the resemblance to Mira.

Try if you can it will help. I’ve always had pets. At the moment I’ve got a Cat and she is a source of joy for the family. Animals can feel your emotion even without saying anything.
Have you tried talking to someone about what you are going through? I hope you get well soon.

slimcassi:
Had to wash off the blood and treat the bird. I'm no doctor but atleast I tried, I think I should apply for doctor's license

Made do with items at home.

slimcassi:
Hello guys

Happy New Month
Hope y'all are fine

UPDATE
Like I said in previous post Cindy was laying and Mira s covering..... Well as things stands now, Cindy has started covering she layed about 9eggs but due to the height of where she layed and not having a well balance surface, and also her leaving and getting back due to feeding, two of the eggs broke so it's seven now.

And for Mira, good news guys......
Her post might come on a new thread, depending! I would want to make a statement on those that had mixed feeling about not getting this far.

What do u guys think, should we open a new thread (hopefully it makes front page) for the good news on Mira??

Pls let me know.......

Wow
This reminded me of last December 2020, my best friend's dad buys day old chicks every January and rears them till December, only for consumption during festive periods and for gifting people. He called me few days to Christmas to come and collect one chicken. I went there very early on Christmas day to get it. It was an all white local chicken,the biggest I ever saw in my life, looking old (almost a year old) and gentle. The legs were now bent, couldn't stand properly anymore.
We didn't kill it for Christmas because we had frozen ones in the fridge. so we decided to wait till new year. We kept it in a big bath, because it can't run around anymore, it was no longer agile.
During this period of waiting for the new year, I became attached to the chicken, I fed her and changed her water regularly, she doesn't like dirts at all, when she poos, she will just shift her bum bum to the clean side of the bath, she won't even try to step on it. she will rather sit uncomfortably to avoid her body from touching the poo. This made me love her the more, she doesn't cry anyhow.
Every night, I'll reserve a torchlight for her inside the bath so it won't be dark. sometimes I play with her, if I remove the torch, she will start crying and she will stop when I return it back ..lols
I never saw myself being attracted to an animal like this, because am always scared of them. but from the day I met her, all my fear went away.
I begged my mom to let us keep her that I love her but she refused saying its exhausting to rear chicken.
On the last Sunday of the year, I came home from church to meet her death. they've just passed the knife through her throat when I came in. I shed tears and then I just lock up but I never ate from the chicken at all till it finished.
Looking forward to starting my own poultry farm this year by God's grace.
