    I have! She takes a few bites and then goes “meh”. Same with yogurt. Scrambled egg she ate more of.

    Yeah I gave her one this morning. She looks exhausted by this hour though. Temps have been better but she consistently gets sluggish and uninterested in food around 4pm my time. She hasn’t filled her crop at night in a couple days.

    I have a Delaware who, As far as I can tell has always laid eggs with meat spots in them. She’s about a year and a half. A week or so back she looked off. Overnight she laid a normal egg and a soft shelled egg. Didn’t lay for a couple days. Then the heat came with indexes of 105. Suddenly her...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I think that’s what we’re supposed to get in a couple Of days (happy birthday to me…) what do you do with your birds?! My day is scrambling to get some Cages ready in the garage because I have one very dumb Buff Orpington being broody without sitting on eggs.

    Hen just sits in the nesting box

    Oh I do put her on after dark. She sits, then when I get inside and check my cam, she’s jumping down to go sit in the corner! 😭 There are two other boxes, and I definitely go out and remove her like once an hour haha. She’s very very determined to … not sit on anything at all.

    Hen just sits in the nesting box

    Putting them on the roost works for you people?! My buff just jumps off and hunkers down a random corner because I have the nest boxes closed off during the night 😭 She’s not even sitting on eggs. Just sitting.

    I think my newly minted hen (1 yr today) is broody…?

    Fantastic information thank you! I wasn’t sure since I see them pass it, no idea how often they needed to eat more.

    I think my hen is having trouble breathing! Please help me!

    Oh I’m so sorry! Good to hear. I found a spot that smelled very strongly of ammonia so I cleared it out. Hopefully That will help. We’ve had so much flooding rain lately and holes have been worn in the tarp over the run that it’s gotten and stayed wet. But thanks for input!

    I think my newly minted hen (1 yr today) is broody…?

    I should mention she’s not even sitting on eggs. She picks an empty nest box to sit, and when she can’t get in there she just sits outside of it in the coop if I let her. I can’t close off access to the coop because the other girls are still laying. After 4pm when I’m Sure the others are...

    I think my newly minted hen (1 yr today) is broody…?

    Will do … but I don’t beilieve she is eating enough. Earlier her poop looked small but better than this. She has refused eggs and tuna and will just eat a little wet crumble and maybe sunflower seeds and scratch like things…

    I think my newly minted hen (1 yr today) is broody…?

    she’s broody again! We can’t have any more chickens (6 max) so there’s no hatching chicks out… before she was going to roost normally with the others once I closed the nest boxes off over night. But now she’s just nesting on the bottom of the coop at night and plucking out feathers :( It’s not...
