I love the hens and babies in the dog kennel! That is the cutest. Here is the cochin I was referring to last night, I put 3 silkie eggs under her today. I' home all the time, so in an emergency, I can bring them into the incubator.

She is adorable ! Thx for sharing

How's she doing? All you can do is get her dry and keep her in isolation for a while.

Picture? Is it bad to ask? I'd like to see a blue chicken. I bet it's cute. Like a fuzzy smurf. Would stripping shampoo hurt the chicken?

X3 I want to see a blue chicken too!

I am so sorry that happened.

Keep her warm, give her electrolytes or poultry drench and hopefully she will recover. Chickens don't have "lungs" like we do - and getting water in their system is very bad for them.

Sorry if my answer rubbed you the wrong way--I didn't intend that. From your comments, I thought you had 8 eggs, not 28. Anyways, there is no genetic predisposition for blue or splash to have hatching issues. However, one of the parents could have something else that is passed through, making viability poor.

There are shots they can give that prevent laying. I don;t recall the med.
