Hi! So I have a broody hen that I'm planning on putting duck eggs under for hatching once I have enough(in about a day, I'd say). She is currently sitting in a nest out in the fenced in outdoor area of their coop. But the other flockmates can get to her and often do disturb her. I was thinking...

I know tomato leaves and raw tomatoes could be dangerous for chickens but mine are still chicks and ate around 6 small newer leaves and I'm scared because they've never had this much before, only a few nibbles but nothing much but today they managed to get in and eat a ton. They eat other leaf...
To cut straight to the point,
I have this little pullet I love dearly, she’s the sweetest chicken I have ever owned so far.
Recently however she hasn’t been doing so good, first I realised she’d tip over a bit when walking fast.
