BiBiBi Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I've had my 3 chickens for 3 days and 1 of them (Bonnie) seems to have something wrong. The other two have perky behinds - like they all look in the pictures but Bonnie's behind is drooping and she seems depressed -walking about very slowly, very cautious with her feet and not interested in treats. I am worried that something is wrong because I had to pick them up on the first night to put them in the eglu and when I put Bonnie in she flapped about a lot and I am concerned that she broke something Please help! What could be wrong with her? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Could just be the stress of the move. It can take them a few days to settle down, especially if there has been any argy bargy. She could be working up to laying a soft egg. That would fit with the symptoms you describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiBiBi Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 She layed an egg! Small but perfectly formed - 44grams.....I picked it up still warm....maybe it was her first one? She seems better now! Thanks for the re-assurance Egluntyne! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
