ChickyGirls Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I have 3 ex-batts that I rescued in Aug 08. They live in their eglu on the lawn and seem to have recovered very well from their previous life in a cage. They have been laying very well (75 eggs last month). Today when I opened the Eglu I found one of the girls had died in the night. She was 18 months/2 yrs old, seemed in good health and are no signs of disease or wounding. I don't know what precautions I should take with the other 2 girls? Can any one advise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Sorry to hear about your hen I am sorry I do not have any experience of Ex batts but I know they are fragile girls from their time spent in the cage. It may have just been her time to go (could be any number of reasons why a hen passes away). I would just give your other girls a routine once over health check every week or so - check for lice, mites, etc and I always worm my girls every 3-4 months or so.
