    My husband buried the bird this morning. I just got a chance to ask him about her. She was leaking egg matter, so this leads me to believe she started to be a internal layer. I was getting a wet nest, and a egg with a thin shell, I bet this was her. She played out, bless her heart.r

    hen going down:(

    one of my hens is going down fast. I was out of town a lot the last few months and didn't notice. She has a nasty poopy butt that really smells, and she is skin and bones. They have been let out to roam since the daylight savings time, and she has always gone out and foraged. I just found her...
