Hi this is one of my other chickens she sits around a lot although she is quite happy her comb is starting to fold over I was just cautious that she might be ill. I previously had a chicken that about 2 weeks ago died and she died with a folded comb. Does anybody know if she is sick or what???
What will happen now do I just wait for her to be able to stand on her feet again.
If she gets better I will need to put her back with the others but this will most likely start the bullying again what should I do??
Thanks for the support
She seems to be getting lighter for what I can feel
What does this mean
She is also getting severely bullied by my other chickens and is even weaker to defend herself, she fall ove when they peck her even the light ones
Yes but not very often
I don't think it is egg bound anymore as she hasn't got an egg stuck but I have noticed a new problem she cant stand up when I put her down after holding her she stands on her toes also she can't get up things like my garden steps
Thanks fogandcopper
I use a garden squirter filled with water and i squirt them gently if they do something or go sonewhere i dont want them to and all it does is suprises them they learn after a few times of doing this for a couple of days
Hope that helps and good luck
My chicken has been a great layer but recently she stopped laying and her tail dropped, she now walks really slowly tail down as if she is in a lot of pain I gave her a warm bath to relax her muscles but nothing happened (although she did enjoy it). On a normal day she will sit in the same spot...
