    Excessive nesting Leading to loss of feathers

    Ok so I just read about broody chickens & this is definitely what I’m dealing with. She’s my most loving girl & about 8 months old. I’m not 100% certain how to manage it though with them all in the shed together I’d hate to take the nesting boxes completely out & eliminate them for the other girls.

    So I just received a call from the dr. They are about to start the surgery & wanted to warn me of the risk. They are going to try a less invasive approach initially but are worried that the tools they have are small enough to safely remove what ever in inside her. If not there is a more invasive...

    So the vet apt is today, I found an exotics vet about an hr & a half from me that was willing for an additional fee of course to see her before December. All local vets wouldn’t take new customers until January. She’s alive & eating good still doing the 1ml of niacin a day & supervised swims...

    So the leg doesn’t seem to be the issue, the earliest Vet apt. I could get was Monday but I found an exotics vet taking me clients about an hr and a half from where I live. I have to pay an additional urgent care fee to get in before December. I’ll let you all know what they say
