Our old hen MaMa white
Our take
Meet our beloved elder hen, Mama White! At nearly 10 years old, she’s the wise matriarch of the flock. Just yesterday, she was strutting around, but today her comb and face have taken a turn from vibrant red to a concerning purple. When I tried to scoop her up for some TLC, a surprising amount of slime decided to make an exit! I’m worried about her well-being and might need to make some tough decisions. Any cluck-tastic advice from the community would be greatly appreciated!

| This is mama white. She is the elder hen of the the flock. She is 9 years old probably close to 10 years old. This first photo is from yesterday and the next ones are from today. Her comb and face went from red/dark red to almost purple today. I went to pick her up and bring her inside because i dont know whats happening and she isnt moving at all. As soon as i grabbed her a bunch of slime oozed out of her mouth. Im sure im probably going to have to put her down but any advice please and thank you [link] [comments] |
