    Broody hen too weak to get back to nest

    She was definitely broody. She displays all the signs of broodiness; fluffing up and making noises when approached, getting up and returning to nest (at the start at least), aggressively pecking anything that approaches her (shes normally very docile). She was broody for exactly 7 days. The...

    Broody hen too weak to get back to nest

    We have a broody Orpington that has been faithfully sitting on her nest. We set food and water by her so that she wouldn't have to get up, but it doesn't appear that she has been taking any of it. Today we found her off of her nest and just laying by it. It seems as though she's too weak to...

    3.5 week duckling not walking and has green poop

    3.5 week duckling not walking and has green poop

    We woke up this morning to find one of our ducklings not walking and having green poop. Another just has nasal discharge and is a bit sluggish. I have isolated these two. They are still very alert and peeping normally. Not sure if they are eating the same, because they don't always eat their...
