Phosphorus Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Boy does it! Have just moved Gemma from eglu to run to which she behaved like a cockerel for the next 5 mins not crowing but the indignant noise was highly amusing Didn't drink but ate a tad, did the most whiffy dropping I have seen her do and ate a few strands of grass. She then went back after 10 mins She gave up on the which was away from her in the distance Still no eggs arrived though - damn the postal service - bet they come tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Yup, they doo whiff! It's because they only do one or two a day whilst brooding so it all gets stored up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchens Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Yeah don't worry quite normal. I've got a broody pekin at the moment (not hatching). Just before bed when the others get their corn I give her a special little handful in the nest. At least that way I know she is eating and the corn will keep her weight up.
