It could not eat and we were hand feeding it for 2 days trying to see if it could by some miracle make it. It was just not to be. I had to...

    Broody hen wont sit after moving her.

    I have a cochin bantam hen that has been broody for awhile now. I decided to let her hatch some eggs but had to move her because she was getting pushed out of the nestbox. So I made her a nice little section all by herself and moved her to it. She sat on the eggs until I left. Then she gets off...
