    Please help sick hen

    I only had the vet RX and corid on hand. Just home from work and she seems to be holding her head up a touch more, the chick feed is medicated. They do not free range or Have compost available although I had raked out the run a few days ago. She’s a week shy of four months. We’re in Delaware.

    Cuckoo Marans rooster meets black copper Marans...

    how does he factor into any Barnyard hatches? I have seven ladies with him all from same hatchery plus two Americauna....I let my broody hatch as experiment but knowing that egg was from my Marans doesn’t mean the chick will be does it....was hopeful for more dark brown egg layers.
