    Help! I found a baby pigeon!

    Sick ducklings - please help!

    Broody Hen raising day old chicks now what

    It is very usual for a broody hen to get pale in the face while she is sitting on eggs. The chances are, the hen is not getting up and walking around while you are there because she doesn't feel safe around you. This is usual even for the most trusting broody mother. Most likely the hen is...
