Hi,
One of our hens has something going on with her...
She is our smallest..she is so light when we pick her up its like nothing is there..she has always been this way...good color, etc but just has always been very light.
I have noticed that the Roo's are always "on" her...I dont know if this has something to do with it or not.
This morning when I went out she was on the floor lying on her side and basically just wanting to sleep..but didn't look good. This is how I have found her recently after the Roos have been at her also. the Roo that is always after her was right there so I put her up on one of the shelves and looked her over..I dont' notice ANYTHING wrong with her...but she was leaning to the one side and her little feet are like they don't want to hold her up...she did eat a tiny bit...then shut her eyes again and tucked her head way under...
Everyone else is completely normal...no symptoms of anything going on with anyone...including her except that she is doing this...
I know we have to get rid of a couple roos this week..we have pretty well determined which 2 have to go. I wanted to make sure which ones were the culprits so we didn't get rid of our good ones.
Help?!? I'm just sick about it...do you think something is wrong with her or are the roo's causing this possibly??????
