mimi5 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 So Martha left her chicks yesterday. She hasn't given them another thought! This means she is back with Max and bully Polly. She has been to Martha since she went back, even when they free range Max is a bit useless much to my disappointment as I got him to keep Polly in check Tomorrow back to work and they will be in the run....poor Martha Martha is sitting around (sometimes dozing) a lot and try to avoid Polly and not eating too much. She has laid 2 days in a row and always is a lean bird when in lay. Should I worry?? I did give her some nutri-drops this morning to perk her up. Lovely red comb and bright eyes, a bit thin for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Can you give her an hour or so separated from Polly just to make sure she can get a good feed? As long as she gets a chance to get enough food on board to make up any weight she may have list whilst broody I'm sure she'll be fine.
