Dora Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hiya, I bought 2 new chooks on the 15th May (a welbar and a Rhode Island Red)both aprox 20 wks. They both settled well however, a couple of weeks later I noticed Millie (the Rhody) started a bit of a cough and a wheeze so off to the vets we went. Two lots of antibiotics later she was a lot better. The problem is that during this time she started to lay and whilst giving her her medicine she layed her second egg and I also noticed what looked like a bit of a prolapse ? I gently pushed it back and off to the vets we went again ! She checked her over and said everything looked fine and about 3/4 days later she layed her 3rd egg with no apparent problem but that was about 3wks ago and there has been no further eggs !! She is perfectly happy in herself being nosey as always. I just wondered if anyone could shed some light on this - has she just decided she doesnt fancy laying eggs cos its a bit of a strain ? Any thoughts would be gratefully received ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
