tjandcpj Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 For a few days Mabel my has been standing alone in her run with her feathers fluffed up, i have not noticed her eating much. I have 3 chickens and usually have eggs each day but recently they have been scarce. Could she be broody ? If so, what can i do (Doris) (Mabel) (Nellie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 If she's not hogging the nestbox or hunkering down in a quiet corner, I'd be inclined to think she's not feeling well rather than being broody . Have a feel of her abdomen, does it feel hot or squishy? Is her crop normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yes, agree with ANH, she sounds a bit poorly to me. Have they been wormed recently? If not I would give them all Flubenvet with their food for 7 days but if she should get any worse/ not improve it might be worth a trip to the vets. Hope she improves soon Alli x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
