    broody austrolorp

    If she gets any eggs under her, take them away. Move her off the nest. When one of my EEs was broody I would pick her up and carry her around a lot, and it made her give up on hatching eggs. The other girls would lay and she would roll the eggs across the coop and sit on them, so I took them...

    Listless Baby

    Lately she doesn't even want water. She keeps falling over on her side or back and kicking as if she's fighting to right herself, and I help her get up. When I offer water she shakes her head side to side or flops over.
