Barren Hen

Featured Replies

Hi guys!

I have a feeing I have a barren hen :rip: *frown*

 

The pair have been down since March the 8th. The hen and cock are in perfect condition. She is a lovely hen, and very healthy. She has been nesting, and the pair have been mating regulary from about 2-3weeks ago. They are both red rings. The hen is from Victioria, as a lovley soul in our club has taken care of me with a good dozen + birds from around VIC,WA and NSW.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Squeak.!

She may have a hernia or is internal egglaying. Is she soft and spongey feeling down low near her vent ?

I will have to check (It's nightime :rip: ) Darn! She may be eggbound... I am so stupid!

Not eggbound..................internal egglaying is different.

Internal egglaying etc....there are articles in our health section under a different name :P
