I have a 8 month cochin who has poop on her derriere all the time, and always has had. She seems healthy and happy. She lays eggs, invariably soiled with poop, but otherwise seems healthy. No worms that we have seen. Is she just a slob???
Thanks for the help! I guess I will have to try to get to the burbs and see if I can find some fakes. I went to Michaels, but they were out. The farm store didn't have any. Maybe sculpey?
My cochin has started laying eggs--all over the yard instead of the nest boxes. Can I use a hard boiled egg for a nest egg? I want to hurry and encourage her to use the nest box and it tales a week or two to get wood or ceramic eggs.
