HENthusiastic Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Anybody know why Matilda the ex-battery chicken keeps picking up her feet, clenching, holding for a few seconds then changing feet? She did this when I first got her and I assumed she just had achey legs because she wasnt used to using them much. But she has recently started doing it again. Does it mean she is uncomfortable? She's stopped laying for the winter about 2 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Maybe she has bruised them somehow? Try giving her arnica pillules from Holland and Barrett (or Boots). I have used them for a while for one of my girls and they do the trick. The 30c is better than the 6c strength. Good luck with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
