Gelbel Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hi, Madge has been crouching for a few days now so I've been waiting for her first egg. She was out FR this morning and having a whale of a time and was 100% fit and well. About 11am she started sort of hanging about the coop and was all nice and calm (she lives life at 100mph). About 11:40 she disappeared into the nest box. I kept a discrete eye on her - she was fine. Just over an hour later she came out - had a little bok and since then has displayed all the classic signs off laying a softee. There was no egg in the nest - nothing at all as I had a rummage around. Is there anything I can do to speed the softee along? I feel so sorry for her - she is so forlorn and miserable and just seems to want to doze on her feet and I can see her lovely tail has dropped right down. Is there anything I can be doing to make her more confortable? I've had a search around but only found the symtoms not what I can be doing to help.

Gelbel Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 She has seemed to perk up - back to her normal lively self. She still looks a bit 'eyesey' but she's just tackled Ada for a worm and won. I can't see any evidence of anything passed where she's been standing. Think I am gong to have to keep an eye on her until we get an egg off her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceychristie Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 She sounds well. I think all you can do is keep your eyes open, and make sure she's eating drinking and pooping ok. Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
