Not quite the same species, but I had a line of sheep (one ram specifically) where all his daughters had that genetic fault. When they'd get close to lambing, we'd find them the same way...laying there dead with their intestines spilled out. What an awful way to find a once living creature.
I'm so sorry that you've both had to deal with that.
Up from the past couple days. The med brown egg is usually a dark caramel color but she hadn't laid for several days after getting a comb injury. The small tinted I'm guessing could be my Dutch bantam's first egg.
I was considering this too. but I've got tons of straw in each one and no matter how much I have in there, they scratch and make an area of nearly none where they are at:/ I check this daily and even added more nesting herbs which is helping to cradle the egg. I'm thinking about stapling tool box drawer mat in each one to see if this helps also. Thank you!
nice rainbow of eggs!Up from the past couple days. The med brown egg is usually a dark caramel color but she hadn't laid for several days after getting a comb injury. The small tinted I'm guessing could be my Dutch bantam's first egg.
