    The hen (Gretchen Weiners name given to her before I got her hahah) has started to eat a little bit still acting withdrawn. She will drink via syringe. Again she is still inside.

    Thank you!! I’m hoping it’s what I think and it’s just a maintenance thing I will continue and it’s nothing awful!
