she's a buff orp. this is her first time. she's got about 10 days to go before babies should hatch. she rarely comes off the nest. her comb is pale (was bright red). I fear she's starving & thirsting herself to death.
I try to hand feed her & she takes some on occasion. I try to give her water & she won't drink. I leave water at the front of her nest box, but don't know if she's drinking. she looks terrible.
is she going to kill herself trying to have these babies?
