Am I all alone?

I'm up. I am having problems with one of my hens and I just can't sleep

 

[Delta2 23]

What kind of problem? Is she sick?

I hate times when I can't sleep and am too tired to do anything else. It's wayyy frustrating!

I posted in the emergencies section... She's rail thin and very weak and the heat isn't helping. I just can't figure out how she got so Emaciated. I hope she doesn't die

 

[Delta2 23]

I'm so sorry!
My hen died a few weeks ago with some of the symptoms you describe: she was weak, thin, couldn't hold her wings or head up...
Good luck.

 

[aubreynoramarie]

Oh no! Did you figure out why she died?

I'm really upset because I've never lost a Hen. I'll be devastated if she doesn't make it. But she just has no meat on her bones

No, I was totally confused... some people here suggested internal laying, but there was no swelling on her at all

Yeah, Feathers was the most overweight chicken there ever was: by the time she passed on... she was lighter than she was as a lil' chick!

deerman: 2AM?
I have never stayed up that late before in my life.
Even as a kid, my bedtime was always before one
