Our beautiful cream legbar passed away yesterday afternoon. I am devastated
She was such a character but after her moult had laid only 2 eggs that we know of. For the past few days she was not herself and yesterday we found her underneath to be swollen. We suspected Egg Peritonitis and were taking her to the vets but she never made it.
on inspection after her death we found that deep inside her she had 6 eggs. I don't know how she lasted so long and am baffled that any syptoms to show she was not right were very few and short. I am devastaded that we did not know anything was wrong before now but she disguised it well as she was still running around and scratching eating drinking and doing what chooks do.
RIP Edna xxx
