Hello all,
I need some help.
Since yesterday, my Antwerp Bantam (Pip) seems a little off.
She's been staying in the coop most of the time and is just generally not at all as active as she normally is.
I've been thinking she might be egg bound, as she hasn't laid her first egg yet, but it doesn't feel like she's got anything stuck.
I have noticed over the last couple of weeks, that the bigger chickens have been going at the smaller ones, but it's only been a little more pecking than usual...could she just feel left out etc ? She's the smallest chicken I have currently.
Below some photos of her about ten minutes ago
Her crop feels normal, maybe a bit empty. But she is definitely eating and thoroughly enjoyed the bird seeds I just gave her...
Can anyone think what might be wrong with her ?
