ERRmm very watery pooh

upthetump · « **on:** June 05, 2008, 11:19 »

When I went to lock my girls in last night I noticed there was water with a little pooh in coming from them. I am very worried about this as about 4 weeks ago I bought a Cream Legbar from a friend and it hasn't yet laid even though she is about 12 months old and is looking poorly. When i put some leaves in the run last night she just stayed in the coop lying down. Her coomb is drooping and she looks knackered, her vent is also dirty. I dont know anything about Legbars, but I would have thought i would have seen an egg by now. I am worried she might have given something to the other birds that could be expensive or fatal. Any thoughts/advice much appreciated. thanks in advance

Hiya u-t-t (shorthand version

)

How long has she been like this?

Is she eating or drinking at all as far as you can tell?

Have you checked for mites/lice?

Any sign of worms?

Was she laying for your friend before you got her?

How's she been today?

You'll get lots of help and support here, I know -

Cheers,
Peggy

It would be so much easier if they could tell us what was wrong with them
