Well fed OR hens spinning??
I have a Q? for some of you more experienced OR flyers.With my BRs,I have had a few hens being fed too much,spin their oviducts out while performing because I wasn't paying enough attention that they were broody and about to lay.All three times the oviducts pulled back in themselves and the birds were ok to fly again but haven't tried breeding any of them.I'm wondering because some of you have said you don't have to cut feed to get performance with ORs like with the BRs so wouldn't the hens be more inclined to be broody not being on a strict diet like we feed our BRs?.Have youse ever had an OR spin it's oviduct out like that?The BRs I have that has happened to are deep tight frequent spinners.

FORs are built different. I doubt you will see them spin their guts out very often. For the most part you don't see many deep tight frequent spinners

Re: Well fed OR hens spinning??
I fly my hens from a separate kit box and if they look eggee I don't fly them. That's easier said then done. They will land early or refuse to fly and I let them land and trap. They must know something!
I had one in the past blow its egg sac and I had to cull it.

Dennis,
Do you think it was caused from spinning?

Re: Well fed OR hens spinning??
The hen blowing her egg sac was cause by spinning. I saw her spin and then land right away. I took one look and culled her. I didn't want her to suffer.

Yes,that's what he means.The BRs I've had it happen to(3 of them)are still ok.Doubt if they are good for breeding tho.
