scubababe Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Just been to clean the coop and have noticed some small blood spots in the trays. There wasn't a lot...literally just a couple the size of a pin head. The girls have lovely red wattles, have been watching me clean the coop and nattering to me and have been eating ok. I've scrubbed out the cube and liberally sprayed it with poultry shield. There was no sign of any creepy crawlies. Any ideas on what it could be? Slightly concerned as I don't want any unwanted squatters!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubababe Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Just had a thought...could it be something as simple as a spot of blood from having a feather pulled out? Caught Ruby pulling out Coral's feathers...and then legging it rather sharpish!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Sounds like you've worked it out for yourself! Good stockmanship! Have a coffee and a piece of cake - it is Christmas Or another glass of wine .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubababe Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 YAY Thanks Wolfie, just poured myself a celebratory glass of vino.
