Egluntyne Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 How old is she? Is she laying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serekunda80 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 she has started to lay again she is a couple of years old, but the concern is that, we had a chick from last year who has been laying no dropping problem on inspection of her it was noticed thar she was very skinny, crop almost empty and had her back hunched up, and she has died.

Egluntyne Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Has she been wormed with Flubenvet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 My first action would be to worm with Flubenvet to make sure that she doesn't have any parasites, then get some sloppy porridge into her - just pellets with warm water and a few drops of cod liver oil. See how she goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
