Poorly chuck
« on: October 18, 2009, 09:15:18 am »
Any suggestions gratefully received. One of our Bantams is lethargic and wobbling around as if she is tipsy and her head slowly droops to the side before she picks it up. She is less active than the others but is still feeding. She is moulting at the moment but otherwise looks quite bright and her comb is nice and red. We have lost three others with similar symptoms but over a period of three years. The last one was last summer.
Thanks in advance.

We have had similiar problem, 4 hens over 2 years, apparently very healthy and then depressed, lethargic, then dead.  Thought one was going the same way a few days ago, but now seems perfectly alright.  someone suggested they might have had an obstruction......

Currently haved 3 x 5 months old peking bantams,2 x isa brown, 1 x welsummer and 5 welsummer chicks and thats me at my full quota, their great fun and i think everybody should keep a couple of chooks as there great and the eggs are a bonus  LOL

Yes I have noticed that Bamford6 seems very enthusiastic about certain merchandise!! ;D  I also think those prices are about the same as my local supplier.  Good luck in your new enterprise though!
