It looks like my hen is dying and her chick, who is old enough to go with the rest of the flock, won't leave her.They have been together since she was born for months. They are very close. My hen looks sick and the baby is trying to get underneath her, even though she's as big as mom. At this time when I have a chicken at their end, I bring them inside and make them comfortable until the end. I know she is going to pass and the baby will be devasitated. Is my hen hanging on for the baby? I thought she was going to pass last night. I'm not sure what to do.
