Unbalanced and Lethargic Hen

Daisy unfortunately passed away this morning. I won't ever really know what was wrong, but I'm so happy that I gave her such a good life right until the end. She died in my arms in bed, which is what I know she would have preferred to go.

Daisy's muscles started to get tight and she was unable to eat or drink without a lot of assistance. I would recommend assisting your hen with taking care of her babies so she doesn't get too stressed trying to look after herself and ten chicks. Try gently massaging her throat when you feed her to relax her and help her swallow. Just make sure she doesn't choke! I was feeding daisy with a small syringe, which worked very well. I would make your own thread to get more advice from more people. I hope for the best for you and your birds! And congratulations to you and your ten healthy chicks!



I'm so sorry for your lost, unfourtanetely my girl was died this morning, too :( Her babies are now motherless, she was 3 years old aseel chicken, and a perfect mother and pet, she raised a lot of healthy chickens, now she is göne, i'm so sorry!  her  3 sisters are broody now, and they will hatch  4 days later, I'm trying to adopt these babies 4 days later when their chicks hatch.
 
Hi how have you been? None yet, not until August most likely!

Doing pretty good! Oh not until August. So you have to order them at a specific time? My farm store sells them year round. Everybody in my town has chickens! Well I hope that you'll have fun with them!
 
I'll be getting some at our county fair, and that's not until August. I'm hoping to get some Polish chickens this year! But it depends on what breeds they have. There are always a ton of chickens there for sale!

Oh that sounds like so much fun! I love Polish chickens! If I had one I'd name it PomPom!
