Hi guys. We are new to the chicken game but have thought about it for ages so instead of talking we bought a Eglu of some great people that only live 10 min away and last Saturday went to Storres Farm at Oxspring in Barnsley and picked up our first three girls Hatty (white star), Ethel (warren) and Dot (Blue bell).(pics to follow). Why did we wait so long. They are the funniest, chatty busiest things in the world. Always ready for fun and games and started laying on the first day. They get better fed and more attention than I get and boy do they like maggots and mealworms. We do seem to have a problem with Dot though. She was the first to lay but soon after she has taken to laying down all the time, she wont compete for food and does not eat much at all, and she has really runny poo, no blood, foam, etc . Also her comb has gone from bright red to pink. I dont know if its the upset of moving in or maybe she has worms. Any ideas??
