One of my flocks was given to me with a nipple waterer. They will drink from it but as soon as I let them out to free range they run straight to the water bucket by the house. I love the idea of the nipple waterer but I personally won't have the set up again because I don't think it's a natural...
I made a sling that I have been hanging her in for an hour or so at a time. I have been giving her poultry liquid B12 and vitamin k and she's taking it well. She's eating ok. I'm just lost as how to help her and the thought of what has to happen if she doesn't improve has had me in tears all day.
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
