Examination day today. I got 15 of them. It's getting easier. Most now dont scream blue murder when I catch them and most stay calm in my palm as long as I don't restrict their wings.
I now have three Ex Battery hens on the watch list. Two have water belly and one of those has lice. I've treated her for the lice with permethrin spray.
This one was looking under the weather. I picked her up and checked her over. Her underbelly felt slightly swollen. I had a feel around and gave her vent a check. When I put her back on the ground she delivered this lash egg wich she and another hen promtly ate. I'll see how she is tomorrow.
