Here she is in the house because she is not eating much and I can't find a thing wrong with her. She just featherd back in from a moult and looks awesome. She is a show bird. She is a little underweight. She was just sitting on the edge of a laying box the other day when everyone else was running for corn. It has been cold so I brought her in the house to keep an eye on her and make her comfortable. Has anyone else had a hen do this? I have had one other but it was in the summer and when I gave her some Handfeeding formula she perked right up. I opened this ones beak and made her eat a liltte of it this morning but she hasn't eaten any since. Her crop is soft and empty. I can't tell that she is eggbound either. She is a pretty thing makes pretty babies so I don't want to lose this girl.
