LJ's Chooks Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I've just put the girls to bed and tori was looking very lethargic. I picked her up ... Which is never an option with her, she usually runs a mile! She just sat in one hand and let me check her over. The only thing I can feel is her bottom seems a bit puffy???? Could this be peritonitis? She is 3.5 years old and similar to a pepper pot. She has always been very skinny and egg production has always been good and laid at the weekend.... She was worked 3 weeks ago, and doesnt appear to have crawlies. Our cockerel died 2 weeks ago, so Im starting to get paranoid! I put her to bed, and she drank, but am worried? Any suggestions please?

Plum Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 It will feel fluidy if you tap her belly for peritonitis. Could be anything guess you need to do a basic health check in the morning if she's the same, most likely is a softie . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
