Well it started off great with me hatching ten fluffy butts for the very first time Christmas Eve and all are beautiful. Then my three baby Cochins 6 months old started to lay their first eggs on Christmas day. All was good except one of the little splash girls had trouble with her first egg and had prolapse and after a trip to the vet and many baths ect didn't make it!
Then I came home to Belle (Dominique) who was not well... Egg bound? I guessed? Just coming out of her first molt and looked great. But again having trouble with her first egg after the molt?.... I brought her inside this morning and bathed her for about 25 mins in warm bath, then while I was blow drying her she seemed to have a heart attack? Or something
I can't believe I lost two beautiful girls this weekend from egg-laying troubles?... What am I doing wrong?
