Jennyhenny Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi everyone, Was just wondering can you kick start a girlie back into laying One of my girls was injured by another on her vent, made a right mess of it, torn etc . I separated them til healed and the naughty one has been fitted with a bumper bit. They have been back together for a few weeks now and are absolutely fine . The victim laid a couple of eggs about two weeks after the attack which were a little bloody as vent wasn't completely healed but have not had an egg since Can you kick start them back into laying somehow Thanks to everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennyhenny Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Anyone The reason for the question is I lost a girl last October to egg peritonitus. What is worrying me is, if she isn't laying an egg are they staying inside her I couldn't bear to lose another one Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 How does your girl seem in herself? Does she seem to be off colour? Does she have a swollen abdomen? If not, then it's unlikely to be peritonitis. She is most likely still recovering. Could she be laying soft shelled eggs and eating them?

Jennyhenny Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hi, Thanks for replying She looks fine in herself, eating plenty, has the occasional hour or so where she will stand in a corner and look at it for a while Her tummy is not solid like her sisters was when she will ill with peritonitus, that was like a rock. Popcorns is pretty softish but can't feel any fluid at all. I thought chicken keeping would be easy but no I just seem to sort one thing out and another pops up Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
