Huddled. Awake. Occasionally stands weakly. Sips in the side of her beak. She lets most of it dribble. She smells icky. Could be her feet though. Chickens dont smell like daisies. Lol
This is what happens when you try to do ANYTHING with turkeys around. They are the friendliest little buggers!

Waiting for this barnevelder girl to start laying. I've got a bit of a wait still, she's only 19 weeks and barnevelders take sooooooooo long to start laying.
And a white Cream Legbar chick that my broody is raising.
Thanks guys. I have been calling her Hope. I see so much life in her eyes since I gave her the first sip. I don't know how much is making it into her tummy. I keep going in and offering the water. I know there isn't anything else I can do right?

I keep saying the same thing! Then I say, if I have a separate coop/run for each breed, if I get rid of a breed, it will give me more options for the breeds I keep. But how do you decide what breeds to get rid of? They are like popcorn............................."Oh look, a chicken!"
I have taken so many photos of chickens in my travels, a naked neck deep in the jungle at a village in Panama, dozens of feral chickens on Kaui, etc, etc, etc.! They are all just so appealing.
And yes, I do spend a lot of money on my chickens. They are one of my hobbies and I don't really expect to recoup those monies. We have the advantage of being retired and nothing to spend on other than our hobbies.
