My hen hatched 18 chicks and found this one under the bunch when I went to separate mom and babies from everybody. Is this normal? Anyway to help? Can’t stand, seems to not be using one foot.
I have a hen sitting on 8 eggs right now, I’ve been interested in adding more chicks soon but don’t have a place to keep them right now. If I were to buy chicks and put them in with her would she still sit on her 8 and successfully hatch some?
I just have her some tuna, she’s up and walking around in the box and making noises this morning. Will check her eye out and clean it here shortly after I get my son fed. Plan to go by tractor supply to grab ointment and some feed until we can figure out what to do since no owners are stepping...
I’m not sure every time I go to check she’s just sitting there, I’m keeping up with her my dog who’s still going crazy and my 6 month old until hubby gets home. She’s moving her legs to scratch when I pick her up but it’s clear she’s not got much energy to put up a fight.
