Hello All.
My hen Jenna does not seem well. She has been broody for about 3 weeks. I've been taking her off the nest once a day to eat and drink. She takes care of business and then quickly returns to her nest.
A few days ago, she seemed to begin to come out of it. She would stay out longer, dust bathe with her sisters etc. Yesterday she came off the nest on her own and was off the nest nearly all day.
I noticed yesterday however, that she is very pale. This morning she is not eating and is pretty lethargic. She is still pale and rather puffed up. She feels thin to me, but as she hasn't been eating that well due to the broodiness, I'm not really surprised.
Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Christine
ps she is about a year old.
