Lab 10,979 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Mu auntie got me to check one of her Hens today.....its not eating great, very thin and not wanting to venture out the coop. I went and had a look but chooks not being my thing i dont know any signs of illness in them and apart from me saying "chap it on the head" (which she is very reluctant to do) i thought id ask on here for any advice to pass on. Its a little unsteady on its legs and razor thin but its quite bright eyed and not looking on its last legs???? Any help with medicines or tips that i can pass on will be much appreciated............... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
