The broody has her own A-frame away from the rest so no other hens can get in. She has been sitting for about a week now. She had six eggs to begin with. This morning I was putting her out into the outside section of the A-frame, noticed she only had five eggs, only a tiny bit of shell remained...
My 6 Flower Hen eggs were placed under a broody silkie 3 weeks ago on Friday morning, 18th sep.
Yesterday there were two empty shells, one had been kicked ot the door, possibly by the hen. There was a puddle of brown liquid by the door on he inside that I cleaned. There was another empty shell...
Thanks,
Update now. He has been in his own A Frame for a couple of days. His condition seems to be getting better. Planning to let him rejoin the flock tomorrow.
Hi guys. It is a Sulmtaler cockerel. About a year old. A couple of days ago his eye was closed, maybe he'd been stung near it and was having trouble opening it. Or could it have been a peck from another hen?
The good news is the next day he was opening it, looking with bot eyes the next day...
