I wonder if there was something wrong with the egg she crushed? They must know these thing somehow? Especially if it was just one specific one. The chick killing mother just sounds crazy though. :lau
Thanks for the input. That's the weird thing, none of them have any other signs. They do tend to sleep on the roof though so maybe they accidentally sit in the poop? Maybe they just need a good dust bath?
I didn't realize you couldn't always see them. Is there a way to tell for sure then? If they have never been wormed do you recommend worming at least once in their life or is it best to not until there is a problem?
Yeah, mine are usually in the pen but I do feel bad about it. I let them out...
Thanks for this info. I was just wondering if I should worm my flock.
I only have 7 (used to be 8) and they are usually penned and in a pretty small coop and pen. It's actually technically too small but we built them a new one which they will move to as soon as I can move the run or get a new...
