I'm losing a hen AND ANOTHER QUESTION!

She's eating good. I just fed her another cricket and it was gone in a flash. I dipped her beak in the water and swallowed, but I haven't seen her drink on her own yet. I may have to dig one of their baby waterers out of storage.
She really looks good. Guess I'll just have an overnight houseguest.
Thanks for all the help y'all. Just the support means alot.

Glad to hear she's perking up! And good for DH - sounds like a keeper!

How's the patient after her night in the ACH (air-conditioned house)?

Hope your hen is okay this morning! Heat stress can require a few days for total recovery, and then you have to watch, as that one will be more sensitive in the future...just like humans.

Hope she's better, poor baby!

She's fine and dandy this morning.

Rain has set in so it's going to be cooler for a day or two hopefully.

Where did all the chickens head the minute I turned them out this morning? To the fig trees!
Nothing like giving yourself the runny poos when it's hot as hades. I can think of no way of keeping them out of the figs short of keeping them locked in the coop, so I just have to hope they grow tired of them and go graze for something else to eat.

Glad shes feeling better!
