I’m in Cowley also.

Her comb feels dry and plump. I feel her breast bone but her abdomen feels smooth.

She doesn’t have any discharge from her beak or nostrils. She hasn’t laid regularly for years and only started laying again probably 4 months ago but when we rehomed 4 girls about 5 or 6 weeks ago she quit again. I looked for parasites but don’t see anything. My husband checked on her earlier...

I like the multi-purpose trampoline . Cute idea .

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I’ve been thinking about a camera as well so I can see who’s laying what eggs but we don’t have worthy internet. A coworker mentioned maybe a trail camera?? I haven’t really investigated that option yet.
