wenhen Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Evening Got in 1 hour or so ago and when to check on the hens before retiring myself. One in house and the other in the dustbath trying to go to sleep. Is this normal?? They've never done it before, but since we went down from 3 to 2 they have not been acting completely as normal. I've tried putting her back in the hosue, then checked 20 mins later and she was back in the dustbath!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 one reason chickens are reluctant to roost is red mite, have you checked the eglu for any signs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenhen Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Good idea - i'll give that a check this evening. The other one was still in the eglu - think that they might just be protesting about their new WIR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
