I have a broody mom with two babies. One of her babies fell from their nest that is about 2 and a half feet from the ground. I wasn't there when it happened but she must have been attacked by a group of other hens. She seems to be in pretty bad shape. We are feeding her through a dropper. Does...
My silkie hen had been sitting on a clutch of eggs for quite some time. Only one ended up hatching out about three days ago. I was just able to get to the farm store today where I bought four more. I slipped them underneath the mama and all was well until one of the new chicks came into her...
