over easy Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 for the last week one of the chooks has not been laying. today i noticed one of the rangers is been pecked at and also spending time away from the others. it also does not look well in itself. she seems to be haunched up and the tail end hangs low and seems very quiet. not really sure how to deal with this cos if this continues can see she wont have long to live, any advise welcome cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Is she still eating and drinking? Has she been wormed recently? does she have lice? Are there any other symptoms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
over easy Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 yeah would say yes to all of those, and she was wormed maybe a month or so ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels4 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 If she isn't laying...could she possibly be egg bound, maybe trying to pass an extra large one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Here's a couple of threads about egg bound hens, if you think that may be the problem: http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26023&highlight=egg+bound+steam http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9786&highlight=egg+bound+steam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
