Well iwas given her some more wormer, been plying her with mite powder abd the coop, and helping her eat and drink. Moving her in and out of the coop. And now, shes still a bit wobbly and pale but is walking around and even puts herself to bed!
She is wormed regularly, she stopped laying about 6 months ago, she is otherwise very alert but not standing. She can as i left her in the coop this morning with fresh water and food and when i came back she was outside. Again, sitting. Her comb feels really warm? She is eating and drinking.
This is my girl lizzie,
with her pale comb. (Excuse the egg on her face)
She has poo like this
She cant really stand and uses her wings for balance, and her tail feathers go right down to keep her up.
she is falling asleep in her food.
she is 3 years old. Is she on her way to chicky heaven?
The new birds are 20 weeks. Lizzie is 2 years. There are 3 in totaly. All successfully in the coop now! :) (feeling proud ) she will just have to get used to them.
Lizzie is pecking at the feathers of one who seems to be the braver one. But they have got SO much space?! Theyre free range. When in the coop and "side-run" she doesnt let them up the ramp to the coop. Will they just wait for her to sleep and sneak in?
So I got two 22week red sex links to befriend my recently "widowed " last sex link standing- she is 2. I have read a bit about the pecking order but the newbies come straight out the coop when "Queen bee" aka Lizzie goes in. Lizzie is also pecking one of them. I have lots of food all over...
