3.6m Omlet Chicken Run for sale, Brand New in Boxes, Milton Keynes (MK19)

Hi All,

 

Picked up three POL at the weekend, two fine the third is a Light Sussex Cross and she is eating, drinking and pooing well but takes every opportunity to have a sleep, today she went to the nest box twice but hasn't laid so far,

 

I know that Sussex are supposed to be docile but is all this sleeping right?

 

I've only had ex-batts before so not used to dealing with such young girls,

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Caroline

It will indicate a problem. I would take her back to the breeder and ask them to examine her. It could be laying problem but equally illness. I have one with respiratory infection and the only sign was keep sleeping until today when she started a rattle.

 

The breeder will give you advice or replace her. May be worth ringing first as she may have others with a problem

Thanks Plum,

 

I'll phone them tomorrow,
