Hi guys,
My SLW hen, Willow, was broody a month ago and now she is broody again. She hasn't even recovered from the last time she was broody. She is very light and stressed out right now and I am worried she is going to get sick. I walked in on her this morning and she was flattened out with her head lolling to the side. But as soon as I approached her, she fluffed up and shireked, like usual.
Should I start feeding her some medicated chick starter? (because it is packed with nutrients and hopefully the meds will help fight off anything) (btws I am okay with using medicated feed)
Is there anything else I should be doing?
Is it normal for a hen to go broody RIGHT after she went broody?
Any advice would be great!!
