Help!! My silkie pullet's behavior has changed.

[JadedPhoenix]

To break her, most seem to put their hens in open-air cages or worse, put ice cubes under her.

And yes, with her being so young and it being her first time, it isn't as clear as it will be later on. Try searching for threads about breaking broodies for ideas on how to go from here. Or you could just let time take over.

HELP. Okay, she went from awake to totally lethargic. She is barely opening her eyes.

I have no idea what to do...

Have you checked for worms?

 

[Yuki Noodle]

Officially, no. Unofficially none of their poos have reflected worms (if that is what I should be looking for). That said, there were a couple loose stools today. She is sitting on my lap now, clearly out of it.

She last laid morning before last and that is when her mood first changed, although subtle. I have seen her eat and drink.

Then she sounds as she may be egg bound. I haven't had one that has had that happened before though.
