    Lethargic hen

    Thank you. She passed away over night. I'm not sure how I missed her being so sick. I wish I knew what she was sick with so I can prevent it with the others. I have two more Polish, I'll try to catch them and trim their topknot so they can see

    Lethargic hen

    She's maybe 1.5-2 years. I'll try giving her electrolytes this morning. I'm sure she does lay eggs but I wouldn't know. Her feathers do interfere with her sight. Since she's in I can band them or trim them - I don't know how to trim so I'll take any advice for that. Crop feels sort of between...

    Moving a broody hen and eggs

    She didn't sit, she left them. I really hope I didn't ruin her broodiness. She's back in the rafters with the others. If she sits on a nest again I'll leave her alone

    I don't have an incubator, not sure that's a good option for me right now. There's 21 eggs and she's only been on them a week.

    Moving a broody hen and eggs

    Im not sure if this is the right place to post this or if it's been discussed - I looked and didn't find exactly my question. If there's a thread already maybe someone can provide the link? One of my hens went broody in the forest behind my horse pasture. Not safe from predators or my cat that...
