Do you know any chook keepers locally that could take her for a few days?

Good luck Sadgit. Don't be a sad person dear.

Fingers crossed for her

this may be a long shot - but does she sound different?? Has she lost any feathers from her breast? The reason I am asking is that sometimes hens can act strangely before going broody, and fluffing up feathers hanging around the hen house may be symptoms. Just a thought particulary with this lovely weather!

actually... now that I have seen her properly in the daylight.. she has lost a about a 1inch (maybe 2 inch) square patch of feathers from her breast area.. that is the area underneath next to her left leg..!?!?

:roll: Broody - does she growl (in a chickeny way) at you when you disturb her; throw bits of stuff over her shoulder :?:

don't think she is broody after all.. anyway we came back from our hols and I expected her to have died. Well she hadn't and is looking happier and healthier and this morning even came out at the same time as the other girls and RAN to her food. keeping my fingers crossed she is gonna be ok.

She certainly sounds OK
