no eggs. The run is critter proof and if something else got her they would have eaten prt of her I would assume??? I can't understand why she would just sit the while one of her sisters pecked her to death???
I thought she was broody yesterday. Sitting on a nest of hat she had gathered. No fleas, No lice, No runny nose or eyes, no watery stool. Just her comb appeared dehydrated as they sometimes do with a broody girl. This morning she is dead. in the same place I found her yesterday with her head all...
I have a silver and a golden. They are, well I'll just say they would be great eating they are soooo big. The golden I am sure is just broody, sitting on the nest all day long. But the silver comes out of the coop and just sits while the others ( 2 California greys and a RIR) pull all the...
