lisaroo2 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 How can you tell if a chook is egg bound or not? today is the second day running that we've not had an egg from Rosie. She's about 6 months old, has been laying regularly up until now. She looks healthy, is eating ok and looks alright in herself. Am I being just a little bit premature in thinking there is something wrong? Maybe she is just feeling alittle off colour with all this rain? Maybe I should get some chicken tonic/citricidal to put in the water? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 If they are eggbound, they are very unhappy and ill looking. She's just having a day off....nothing to worry about. Are you overdoing it with the treats, or could she have laid an egg under a shrub without you knowing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisaroo2 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hi Eglutine Over doing it with treats? They do get treats, not every day and then a handful or so between the 3 of them. The last couple of days they've had potato peelings and strawberries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 That doesn't sound like you are overdoing it. She's just having a mini break.....if she is otherwise well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
