How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[alih]

I have never encountered this before - my newbies are definitely laying tiny eggs but still won't bloomin' crouch when I get near. Just wondering whether this happens sometimes?

[Gem_Seb]

Only one of mine crouches and this is only once i have chased her around for a bit then she must give in! the other 2 i have no chance of getting! They all lay an egg each everyday as well!

I have a couple of girls who are far too well brought up to do any of that common crouching struff Not every hen will do it.

I have 2 hens that lay and do not crouch - they obviously didn't read the rule book or missed that lesson at chick school

They just aint 'easy'!!

Hmm. All very interesting - it's weird that it's the 2 new ones together that don;t lay - do they influence each other??

Of all of mine, only my two RIR big girls crouch!

Are the new ones a posher breed

My 2 hybrids crouch, the 4 pure breeds have never crouched!

One of my girls is "too posh to crouch", and when she (occasionally) forgets herself and releases her Inner Hen she crouches.......just until I get close enough for her to jaunt haughtily away again, . I do make a point of picking her up for a cuddle, and she gives that low clucking moaning voice, lol . Just personalities I guess?

Nope, don't think so....have had RIRs, an Amber Star, a black rock and some ex-bats, all of whom have obligingly crouched a week or so before laying and when I go near them but these are a bluebelle and a speckeldy...so poshness not a factor here!!!

My girls are laying just fine and dandy, and do not do the crouching thing..............

 

I figure it's because I don't resemble a rooster................

 

(At least not to THEM........ )
