sleepymummy Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hi there, I just wanted to thank everyone who has been giving me advice over the last few weeks. I took Gloria to the vets on Wednesday who diagnosed possible egg peritonitis. I have been giving her antibiotics which certainly made her more comfortable. She started eating with gusto. Unfortunately, she died this afternoon. She went quickly and I am just thankful it didn't go on and on for her. I'm off to buy Marsha some pals tomorrow so I am sure I will be asking more advice on introducing new hens to a very terrotorial hen who can't even let a robin go about his business in peace! Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Very sorry to hear that, am glad that she was more comfortable and, as you say, it was quick. I hope you can find some new friends for Marsha, if you look in the FAQs section there's a sticky on introducing new chickens with some excellent advice.

sleepymummy Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks. Yes I looked at the info before I went and bought my new 2. Very interesting. They are point of lay, extremely nervous and Marsha is being horrid. Not violent as such but mind games I think! I am sure they will setlle soon.
