Please help. My black silkie went broody about three weeks ago and I didn't have the heart to break her. I would make sure she got out of the nest at least once a day to eat drink and poop. A week ago I got her day old chicks and it was love at first site. She has been keeping them warm and caring for them for a week. Today I noticed my silkie can barely walk and uses her wing to hobble forward when forced to move. She prefers to just sit and call to her chicks if they wander too far. I moved food and water so she can reach without moving. She eats and drinks some and poops a little. But I am worried. Any advice?
