Thank you and yes, I had to isolate her when a predator got one of the eggs under her. They were peacock eggs that proved to be infertile. This particular hen had been trying to sit for a long time, maybe months, I just kept taking her off the nest. She was very determined but there was no...

Thanks, I will get the extra protein to her. They all free range during the day, with multiple sources of water, food and shelter from the heat.
