Meganymoo Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 My Hen Toast has recently started wiping her bottom along the grass. Is something wrong with her and how can we stop her doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burtie14 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'm no expert but could she have something stuck around her vent? Does she seem distressed? If so, it might be sensible to take her to the vet to be on the safe side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Where do I start - mine sit in their food in their water and do funny runs over the lawn. They disappear into the bushes and then you see one zoom across the lawn wings aflapping and disappear into another bush. I think they play hide and seek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I've not heard of a hen doing that (more a dog thing ) but I'd agree, it sounds like something's bothering her. A thorough inspection for lice might be a good idea . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I would go down the lice checking route, She sounds like she is itchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
