emmamakeup Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hi everyone My chook produced what I think is a lash yesterday (it was a white jelly kind of thing) and since then she's been very quiet, remaining still and closing her eyes a lot, not eating but has been drinking quite a bit. She went into the nesting box this morning for about 1.5 hours and came out to stand near the glug. She looks really sorry for herself and quite frankly I don't know what to do. Berny and Bob are happy chickens - going about their usual business but Hermione doesn't look good. I'm worming the girls this week when I get my order through from Omlet and will put some tonic in the water. What do worms look like? Any advice and possible diagnosis would be much appreciated.

legend21 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Pat I think a lash is when they lay the white but no yolk or something like that. regards Jacki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
