    Black Australorp hen with one eye open one eye closed please help!

    update !!! I picked her up and she perked up a little bit for a minute and ran away but then she closed the one eye again and then close the other currently my mom is holding her and she is pretty calm. We are thinking that she either is sick or one of our other hens pecked at her eyes. - Jacob

    stopped being broody?

    no im pretty sure that the othe rone is broody because she has been on the nest for at least 24 hours. The reason i am not trying to break them is i might get some babies for them some time in the future so i want to keep my options open.
