I was a nurse for 51 years. Was never squeamish about any procedure any injections nothing like that. But I sat and watched my little chicken and there was no question whether or not she felt bad you could tell she did so I read online about draining that ascites from her belly so I went up to...

Thank you for responding to me. She does not come out of the nest box unless I go in and get her which I do every day and I just sit her on the ground and she usually goes under the porch. The other hen is very attached to her, and she will not come out of the coop unless I get the other one...
