Marinah0 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 My White Sussex bantam Eggy has taken to sitting on the nest at every opportunity, I assumed she was broody and kicked her out. But it looks like her bottom is pulsing when she stands still, like she's trying to poo or lay. She seems fine in herself when out of the nest, foraging and scratching around as normal but she's been sleeping in the nest over night so I know she hasn't been pooing, I'm just concerned she's bunged up as I haven't witnessed her poo in the day and I don't remember her bottom pulsing like this the last time she was broody. Has anyone come across this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Tea Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 When did she last lay? Could she be egg bound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixie chick Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Mine do 'pulsate' around the back end when they are broody..... hopefully it is nothing to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marinah0 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 She laid on Friday last and usually lays every other day. I wasn't really expecting an egg on Sunday because she seemed broody and she stopped laying for a week last time she was broody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
