For the last few days I've noticed a build up of what looks like white chalk around the vent area. I've also noticed a bloody coloured poo today.
In herself she seems fine, running around although I have noticed her sitting down quite a lot more. She has not laid for a while either. She is...
She's a speckledy layer. She seems a bit perkier today apart from the snow. Still not herself but I don't think she is broody as she isn't staying in the nest box.
Hi
I hadn't thought of her being broody due to the moulting. But I guess it could be the case. She has been broody twice in the past and has spent these times in a cage. But this time seems different. Do you think that it is worth putting her in a cage? I'm just worried about the cold weather...
Hi Everybody,
I'm new to this forum. I have four chickens which are free range. For the last couple of weeks my Speckledy has'nt been laying. For the last week she has been moulting quite a few feathers. Today she seems very quiet and wanting to be on her own. She is not running around either...
