Best liner/ bedding for drop tray

[Magso12]

Help please. One of my girls has just been sick. She laid her first egg yesterday and another little one this afternoon. Since then she has been sitting very still under a bush and then I noticed her being sick. Sorry to go into detail, but it was very slimy, a bit like the white of an egg actually - yuk. Would this be anything to do with laying her first egg? I got her and another hen three weeks ago and she is at the bottom of the pecking order and is bullied mercilessly by my two older hens. Worried!

It could be sour crop.

It could be sour crop.

Have just researched sour crop on the internet - eek! I will keep a close eye on her. If she's not better tomorrow I will take her to the vet. Will keep you posted.

There is advice about sour crop on the faq. It's listed under poultry health.

I hope she feels better soon.
