    Why won't my hen eat?

    She actually passed away that night. We don't know why. She was doing very good, then the next morning she was gone.

    Why won't my hen eat?

    Update! My hen this morning was refusing to walk, so my dad helped me with getting her in a warm tub of water to lubricate her and get the feces off her butt. In the middle of the warm bath she started to drink, so we got her some water then she stood up and wanted out. After we took her out we...

    Accidentally Hatched Chick

    Don’t worried, they all hatched, we lost a few because of sickness, but the rest are fine and I’m nursing one of them back to health right now. They are about 2-3 years old now.

    Accidentally Hatched Chick

    Aw thats sad. I would, before you get rid of the rest, do the same thing to the rest of the eggs but outside. So then you know what ones are good and bad. That one egg might have been bad but not the rest. I would also try to nurse him along. I’m actually dealing with a sick hen myself right...

    Accidentally Hatched Chick

    Also, did you ever think that egg shells might be too hard for the chicks to hatch? When I hatched my own, they went over their hatch date by a week. Maybe by you accidentally breaking the egg, you helped the one chick. Maybe the broody knew the shells were too hard and gave up on them because...

    Accidentally Hatched Chick

    The hen being a first timer at being a broody shouldn't effect this because you accidentally broke the egg. Did she get up and completely leave the eggs and go do other things? If so, it sounds like she knew something was wrong, but not necessarily the egg that was broke and hatched. The yolk...

    Why won't my hen eat?

    My dad felt her crop and it felt like she had very little food in there. It's mostly in here butt and back end. She is also very very lethargic.

    Why won't my hen eat?

    She is about 2-3 years old and she does lay eggs. Her crop feels like it has little food in it. I don't have any picture's of her. I haven't wormed her lately. I can definitely feel her breastbone, she has lost weight. I didn't feel between her legs to see if she was swollen or enlarged, but I...

    Accidentally Hatched Chick

    Just keep it in the incubator and the humidity as if he was still incubating. Keep it like that for a couple of days and hope for the best. It still has it's egg yolk so don't worry about feeding it bugs or anything else right now. I hope he makes it! Please let me know if he makes it!

    Why won't my hen eat?

    My hen has had a dirty butt with brown feces for about a week and she has not been eating. She has been avoiding the other hens a little and doesn't run like the other's when I give them food. She is lethargic and barely walks anymore. She is way more timid than the other's even though I hatched...
