Hi folks, our polish bantam (8 months old) was walking and jumping on her perch just fine earlier. 3 hours later, we've just found her laying on the floor panting and unable to stand. When we try lift her up, she curls her toes and crosses her legs. No blood or sign of injury, I washed her feet...
We tried this but only for a couple days; is it worth going back to this method for a longer period?
Our issue is that we don’t have another hen house for them to sleep in, so we’d either need something small and temporary or keep them in with the main flock overnight.
Hi, we’ve been trying to introduce 2 bantam hens to our existing flock of 3 full size hens for a week. They’re in a coop, in a 2.5m x 3m walk-in run, in a garden (can’t let them out all day due to broken fence)
Sleeping together well, but the 2 new hens won’t leave the coop without us...
