jellybean29 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 My buff sussex seems healthy has a bright red comb and is drinking but i havent seen her eat in the last few of days. Shes not even interested in sunflower seeds which she normally goes crazy for. I have also tried to give her porriage and i no i shouldnt but bread and biscuits and still she shows no interest. I have noticed she lost weight and her crop feels empty. She isnt acting any different to her normal self my other chickens all seem happy and have been loveing the extra treats!! She also still has a few feathers coming through from the moult and hasnt been laying for a few weeks now but i think thats because of the weather we have had. Any ideas????

sandyhas3chucks Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 is it brighter than normal? It could mean a temperature? esp as she is drinking(they do this too cool down) what re her poos like,? I would pop her to the vet as we have a holiday coming up good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellybean29 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 thanks for your replys she seems alot better now and i think i no whats up. After spending so much time in the house the girls have decided to come out and are no trying to re arrange the pecking order and poor linda has always been at the bottom but the maran has started giving her a hard time when it comes to feeding time! hopefully the girls will sort themselves out soon!!
