jameslcfc Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hi, i have 5 silkies and 1 is poorly. I dont have a clue whats wrong. She is just sitting doing nothing like shes broody. She hasn't laid any eggs yet only 22 weeks. Ive had red mite in the coop and treated it and the girls. I checked her again today as she wouldn't come out the nestbox. She didn't have any that i could see. She seems a little weazy though. I had to take her back to the coop last night cus she was just sat. She was ok in the morning. Any ideas? I think i may be going to the vets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I'm not much of an expert at all, but could it not be just that she's getting close to laying but isn't quite there yet? Is she eating/drinking ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
