KateG Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I found a softie in the eglu as I cleaned it out today. It could have been there for a few days (due to the height of the box I'm not able to see in to it when I put the girls in/out/collect eggs). I've checked the girls over and martine appears to have 'dirty wet knickers'. I've also noticed over the course of a few weeks that she's not as big as the others (though not really underweight). I assumed this was to do with pecking order so ensured she had access to food and water with out the others around. So, what do I do for the girl? She's out free ranging at the minute, seems as happy as normal. Do I need to clean her up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 It might be worth bringing her in and giving her a bottom wash then keep her warm till she is dry taking the opportunity to get a warm porridge of pellets, warm water and any tasty treats inside her, she will at least feel better for a big meal and being clean if nothing else Also worm them if not up to date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
