Hello! I’ve searched multiple threads to try to answer my question and I didn’t find anything, so I apologize if this has been asked and answered already. I had a hen who was broody for a few weeks before I put her in a “broody breaker”. She was in there for 4 nights before “breaking”. She was returned to the coop and run yesterday morning and everything seemed fine. Last night, I noticed that she was sleeping on her feet. She came out to free range last evening but didn’t have a lot of energy. She actually retired to the coop early last night. This am, she is just moving around slowly. She’s eating and drinking that I can see. How concerned should I be? Should I be doing anything more for her? Thank you all!
 
Might give her some extra nutrition, she may have lost condition while sitting (for how long, exactly?)
Is she roaming with the flock?
She’ll walk around, scratch and such. Not real active today. Yesterday she took a dust bath and was more active. Today she seems “tired”. Closing her eyes where she stands. Maybe she needs some vitamins?
