She is broody, her eggs have gotten very light, or she's mad that she doesn't get enough scratch.

She's not sitting on anyone else's eggs. Thought about the eggs getting lighter and that may be a possibility actually, and the scratch, well, that just may be it!

Mine I am hoping it was t something contagious but I burryied her with the others that died a throw out my chicken raising year if one more of my birds dies I think I am just going to sell them I I have only been raiding chickens for about a year now and I have lost three adult birds and 4-5 baby's

If your chickens are dying mysteriously, why would you sell them? If that is what you were actually saying, that is completely irresponsible and just plain wrong. Please tell me that I misunderstood.

There must be something special about lilac bushes, ours just love them! It is always a popular hangout in the yard for them...

When I let my girls free range, they love my lilac...and hang under it all the time....

Yes, our hens seem to cooperate quite well, you could move the 6 from the Marans to Elsa and reset the Marans with new eggs if you wanted, but for that to work she would have to commit pretty quick.

If you ever get back east to my neck of the woods, I'll trade you a couple of broody spr chicks for a fishing trip????

You got a deal! If you ever find yourself in the NW during summer or early fall you can hit us up for a ride!

No they are not diupying mysteriously as they are wormed often and I would hate to part with them I just can't stand to see this happen to them so I was thinking of seeping once I made sure they are all healthy I am Against animal cruelty that's why I am trying not to eat meat all together as I know animals are still harmed and killed in fields but it's better than suffering without any food or water abandoned and I seen videos of how they handle and beat them to death screaming how could anyone do something like that

O I forgot but I know why the other died I just don't like to see it happen cause I know I have to update my pages in my chicken folder and add another page without that one chicken

sorry, 2 different problems happening to 2 different chickens!
one stopped laying, but otherwise healthy
one separated b/c she is lethargic, not eating/drinking and swollen eye (but not shut), also she kinda twitches her head/neck back in a turning motion to the side of her good eye. Almost looks like a reflex action or something? 

Wait I just now thought of this as it don't explain why her eye is swollen but it sounds like she cou,d have wry neck or something since u say she is holding her head to one side funny I am not sure how to cure it if u want to give it a try and see if it helps her any
