Empty crop this morning, I'm thinking of trying to take her off the metoclopramide to see how she goes. Her appetite has definitely dwindled a lot, she never feels to have anything in her crop, but she is eating and pooing, so I guess she should be able to cope.
She is definitely more subdued again today, lots of lying down in the run, even though the door is open for her to come out into the garden. She is getting up and having a wander around, and she did run from one end of the garden to the other earlier, so it's not as if it is all the time and really, from what others with hens on suprelorin have said, it is normal.
Droppings have looked absolutely fine again today. I'm trying to keep her topped up on food throughout the day, so she has had wet mash for breakfast, mealworms, a bit of corn (not too much cos it has been ever so hot today) some bokashi bran, a few seeds, and some pasta at teatime. She must be picking at the ex-bat crumb as well when they are shut in the run. I am thinking of trying one of the garvo mixes for her (alfamix). I bought the garvo special mixed corn, and they have the garvo treats which is full of yummies, but the alfamix is a complete food in itself.
No egg :-)
