chickanne Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Sterile peritonitis - again! Have I just been unlucky that all 3 - different hybrids - have died this way or am I doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickanne Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 They roost in Eglu, have a 20m2 run with compost heaps and get access to grass twice a day. The best layers pellets plus greens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Sorry to hear that . I'm sure it's just bad luck, can't see how you could cause it to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beantree Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Sorry to hear that you lost Ruby Chickanne. Can't be anything but co-incidence as you are doing nothing wrong. Unfortunately heavy laying hybrids are prone to that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Sorry you lost Ruby today. I think it is just the luck of the draw Of my 'real' chicken friends, no one seems to have the problems I have with the girls - theirs live to a ripe old age with no problems at all, mine don't. I guess it's like people, some have better insides than others and therefore live longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
