DoozyWombat
Songster
Could well be. She actually fell over on her side without moving her wings, like she was a stuffed animal. She didn't revive until I dipped her beak in the water a few times and fed her some mealworms and cracked corn. She's still a young bird--only about 14.5 months, so I've been hoping she'll bounce back.I wonder if she was in such bad shape and close to death maybe her reproductive tract was damaged.
She's also the most interesting bird in the flock. The rest are Dark Brahmas, which are beautiful but not quite as bright, and my remaining CX, which are dumb as the proverbial doorpost. The Leghorn is always the first to figure anything out, and the most complex in her behavior.
At the moment she's looking good, aside from no eggs. I just wonder if there's anything I can do to stimulate her to start laying again.
