well - update folks Bella lasted till Saturday but could not eat or walk - took her to vet's he was very kind - had her put to sleep and felt much better but very sad.
I was really upset at Hubby as I would have taken her much earlier and put her out of her misery sooner but he was reluctant and thought nature should take its course but that was horrible as she was starving to death really. (Big row and put my food down on Saturday) Anyway she is now buried under the Budleah tree in her favourite spot. I know it was just a chicken but can't believe how much I miss her bossy personality!!! She was a lovely addition to our garden and gave us lots of tasty eggs and lived until very rrecently a happy free range life!

So sorry to hear about little Bella
but it sounds like you did the right thing for her.
I've cried buckets when I've lost any of my little girls
but, as they say, the amount of pain you feel is proportionate to the amount of love you felt.

HI thanks for all your replies - yes cried loads - miss her but glad she had a lovely time and she was at that age - must have been about or nearly 6 yrs old and I know chooks don't live that long although years ago I had a little game bantam I called her lettuce and she lived to be nearly 11 years old!!!

Save your photo from the camera as you would normally. Click on it to open it then click on the icon at the bottom of the photo that opens it for editing. At the top of the screen click on "image" and where it says skew/stretch reduce the size from 100% to about 35% then save it, when you save it rename it so you don't confuse it with the original. Then when you do a post on the forum click on the "additions" and "browse" until you find your new photo. it will appear small on the page until someone clicks on it then it will enlarge. Hope this helps.
Sorry to hear about Bella but she was a good age and by the sounds of it had a good life with you.
