Did the louse powder thing tonight. Chickens disgusted.
The bloody egg appears to have been a one-off - phew!
Janice is still broody - kept turfing her off the nest all weekend - but she kept going back. Caused a terrible traffic jam at egg-laying time! The rest were glaring at her - like they were saying "Are you not FINISHED yet?"
I read about dunking her in cold water. Instead I got my son to hold her while I hosed cold water on her underside. (Gently of course!) She was a bit perplexed - went off for a sunbathe then straight back in the nest box,
