Title: Advice needed for poorly chicken
Post by: KarlandSue on July 05, 2010, 20:45

Hi, we have had our 5 POL hens for 5 wks and yesterday we found Gizzmo or magpie hen  crouching down, not moving or rosey.  She is still alert and will eat and drink if you put the food & water near her.  After ready our Haynes chicken manual we thought she might be egg bound, as we have had some really big eggs, although we are not sure who laid them. We done what the book said and check her to see if we could feel any eggs internally but there was nothing.  We have seperated her from the others, but don't really know what else we can do as we are pretty new to this game.  Any advice would be welcome.
