Sugar, my broody that got attacked by shadow, has been going down hill. She just doesn't look good. I know brooding is hard on a bird. But she's been itching at her face and eyes a lot and her muff/beard looks dirty. (Could be ff) anyway, one of her eyes doesn't seem to want to open today. What do you suggest I do for her? She is still sitting, with hatching expecting this week.
yeah ruffling a new broody at this point might screw the whole deal up,,,,I agree to wipe off her face see what you can see. Guessing this is an AM, the whole mess of the beard and muffs is why I started fermenting grains and not mill processed feed.
AM's don't seem to take the heat too well,,,also agree that all the birds should be getting electrolytes in this weather. I found one a couple of months ago that also contains probiotics. Twin City Poultry Supplies
