Thanks yes been using a cage and have had it raised but lined the bottom with a piece of ply Thankyou :) Also I didn't know a Pekin was a bantam Cochin! I have struggled finding quality information about the broody habits of Pekins and had always been told it was odd behavior as there are many...

Thanks so much I’ll do some research and try and get my hands on one 😊 Have attached some photos of my Pekins, I have 2 x lavender, 1 x silver laced partridge and 1 x gold laced partridge Pekin (they all have really fluffy feet but it’s a wet day so a little muddy 😊)

Hello, I've got six hens, two are almost at point of lay and the other four had been consistently laying for over a year. As of last September my first hen went broody and she sat for over a month, since that time I've always had at least two hens brooding and up to 3 brooding at a time...

Thanks I’ll keep trying around! She just layed a soft shell double yolked

thankyou!I’ve followed all your directions, she’s laid another soft shell this morning that was surrounded by Fecal matter and lots of liquid (egg was intact and had yolk 😊). She’s already sounding like she’s about to lay again- I have some amprolium here would that be an appropriate oral...

Thankyou! Will start on calcium and d3 right away. She’s a little happier this afternoon, engaging with the other hens. Her vent hasn’t started to prolapse but is pulsating, the diahhrea is indeed clear and watery. Her first egg this morning didn’t seem disturbed but had a large crease on one...

Good morning 🌟 My bantam hen started laying this week (Tuesday), she has laid an egg around lunch time everyday since. Today she laid before I went down to open up the coop. It’s was a soft-shelled egg, surrounded by LOTS of diarrhoea. It was slightly creased on top, didn’t look punctured but...

Good morning 🌟 My first bantam hen started laying this week (Tuesday), she has delivered one egg everyday since. Today I woke to find she already laid (v early) and there was quite a lot of diahhrea in the nesting box, and a very soft shelled egg, she may have punctured the egg as there was...

I’ve also dewormed and treated for mites

Hello I know this is an old thread but I’m hoping you could tell me what happened to your hen? I’m experiencing the exact same thing with one of my own, so much straight blood poos and I’ve been treating for cocci for three days. Did your hen respond to cocci treatment?

🙏🏾 Thankyou so very much for your informative and really prompt replies, Georgie

🙏🏾 Great idea thanks!

Ye Yes I am in Australia, is coccidiosis more prevalent here? I’ve been giving amprolium for three days but will Continue treatment thanks. I have treated the flock, however concerned that after a damp rainy week Cocci is multiplying in their environment. They all have feathered feet. Thanks...

Thankyou for your reply so much appreciated. I have noticed new pin feathers around her vent area, like you said its an excessive amount of blood is there anything I can Do about this if pin feathers are responsible? I’m just out and about atm will give her another full look over when I return...

Good morning, my first time writing here. I have four Pullet Pekin Bantams, the oldest hen (approx. 5 months) has been pooing significant amount of blood every morning for the last week. I have treated her for mites, worms, given her amprolium in case of coccidiosis but ceased after three days...
