Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

[Budgies]

I have four pure breeds and in the past few days one of them, the Barnevelder, has seemed a bit under the weather.

 

She's eating and drinking, has been wormed (two weeks ago with Flubenvet). Her eyes are bright, her nostrils and breathing clear, no rattles or wheezes. Comb and wattles starting to grow and reddening up nicely. Ears not swollen. Breath fresh.

 

Crop fine, not liquidy nor impacted and is emptied by morning. Can't feel any fluid or egg shapes in her abdo. Legs clean and vent fine, no lice or mites. Feathers in good condition. Seems to be pooping normally.

 

The only symptom she's displaying is the tail down thing, and sometimes sitting when others are pecking.

 

I've booked her into the vet but they can't see her until Monday evening. I'm not too worried at the moment as she's definitely holding her own, but am wondering if it's related to her perhaps coming into lay, or if she's got a way to go yet.

 

Any ideas please?

My pure breeds came into lay between 28 and 36 weeks old. My Barnebar was 28 weeks, my Wyandotte was 36 weeks. However, I have an Appenzeller and a Silkie that haven't started laying which I think are both around the 30 week old mark.

 

How old is she Budgies?

Thanks for that Space Chick. She's 27 weeks, so if your Barnebar laid at 28 weeks, that might tie in with her being about to start laying I guess.

 

Thanks for taking the time to reply Debs, much appreciated.

I'd say she's coming into lay then if she seems OK in other respects

My Barnevelder laid at 30 ish weeks Got her in September aged 11 weeks and she started laying in the February of the following year. Yours might be gearing up to lay if she is ok in all other respects. Lovely dark eggs
