My eco solution to rat problems

[AndyRoo]

FTLOG, I have another one I am concerned about now.

Today I noticed my little Legbar has started spinning in circles. She can certainly run in a straight line merrily without any problems, but when I went out earlier, she just spent five minutes walking around in tight circles and squawking her head off. When I went back in I noticed that she seemed to start walking normally again. But then when I went back out, she started doing it again.

I don't know if she's doing it as a wind-up, but has anyone experienced their hens doing this?

I thought about Newcastle Disease, but she has no other symptoms of this - and the same with Marek's. To the best of my knowledge, the breeder vaccinates against Marek's - although I'm not sure about Newcastle.

Maybe I just need to take her to the vet and get it checked out.

I swear to God these hens will be the death of me soon. I've never had problems for years and now they're all going loopy at once!!

Okay, now I think she might just be trying to wind me up as today she has been completely fine and has been doing all her normal chicken things.

The chopsy cow came out today and did a few little spins for me again, and then sauntered off looking pleased with herself. I reckon she's on the wind up.
