My Orpington is 1 1/2 yrs old, this her first brood and she is laying on 5 eggs. She has lost so much weight and I have brought her in the house and put her in large kitty kennel so I can put a heat pad under her. Her body temp is low as well and her comb is extremely pale. I have a case of fowl pox going through my flock right now and she is about 10 days into the fowl pox so she should be over it by the time the chicks hatch. I am hand feeding her yogurt, hard boiled egg, pasta and a bit of cooked hamberger plus her regular diet of scratch, mash and oyster shells. She is drinking off and on. She is weak looking but acting tough. I hope I am doing the right things, I could sure use some advice. I don't want my hen to die. HELP!!!!
