She's the one picking on the other 4 birds in coop. Coop is tightly sealed nothing getting in. Looks healthy to me.

I grew up taking care of horses. They lost their allure for me long ago. I will not fall in love with the minis. Now I need to repeat that 100 times!

Kids call her Syann, has been laying eggs in same nest since she got here. When I went out this morning she was sitting in nest and other birds were out in run. But no egg.

Is she getting layer feed and oyster shell? Maybe going broody, but not sure if Andalusian is a broody breed.

 

[Newbee58]

Have a small feeder of oyster shells and another one with grit. Just been feeding her all feed, as we have chickens, ducks and turkeys.

Just bought a bag a layer feed today thinking that might be problem. But person I talked to at feed store says that's all she feeds her birds. So don't know. I am also going to try ff once I get it started.

Tese are picts of her 2-3 days ago. Not best picts but she was taking a dust bath at time. Free ranged most of yesterday.

How would I weigh her. She doesn't seem to be lighter than when I first got her.

I have a scale for bantams, but not for the big girls. Sounds like she's active and feeling good. Maybe just just having a hitch in her gitalong. I have a hen that lays maybe 2-3 times a month! This is after nothing for over a year. I blame hormones!

Well I'll keep an eye on her, just in case. Thanks Wishing, need to get to bed, so I get my 4 hours on bi-pap machine. Otherwise medicare won't cover it. Night.
