Goldbreast hen fallen ill

Post by tidnab42 » Tue Sep 02, 2008 10:56 pm

All of the sudden it seems my Hen is not well. She was sitting on the edge of the feed dish, shaking and puffed. I now have her in the hospital cage with food water and the heating pad and she's acting weird. It might be egg binding. I'm not sure. But the one peculiar behavior is the sudden fast body twitching. I me super sonic speed. The cage was on high vibrate it was kind of weird to feel that coming from such a small bird. She's all wrapped up now. So we'll see. She's puffy and sitting on the bottom. Which is never ever a good sign. Shoot, and this on my Hen that laid good eggs beginning of this year. Darn it.....

Addicted to Finches, yes I do admit it.
I pray they never find a cure.
