munchkin Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi everyone Following a cuddle tonight with Margot I noticed she had a sharp breast bone - i think it is the keel bone?? Is this ok or is it a sign of worms. She is only young, about 30 weeks old (ish). Her comb is farely red, no sign of runny vent or dodgy poo. She also lays nearly every day. Am i worrying over nothing? I have given them verm-x tonight in their feed for the morning as a precaution. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 It will be her keel bone. As long as she is eating well, her comb and wattles are red and she is laying, there won't be much to worry about. She is still young, and will put on a bit more weight as she gets older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 My hybrids haven't got much meat on them at all under all the feathers either. When you consider they eat about 120g of food a day, produce a 50-80g egg from that, it's beyond me how they could ever put on weight.
