My broody hen has been sitting on 11 eggs and it's day 23 this morning.
At least a couple of chicks hatched yesterday and she hasn't left the nest since day 21 evening.
The problem is that she has kept closing her eyes as if she's sick for the last few days. She looks so tired.
This morning (day 23), she's squinting as if she can't keep her eyes open.
Yesterday (day 22), I fed her some chick starter and water while chicks were hatching under her, hoping she'd get better.
Now I'm worried maybe she's sick because she couldn't poop too long in the nest.
Or is she sick from something else?
