please don't die

Hi all, I have an older hen who was already an older Unknown age when I found her dumped by somebody and she's been with me for 3 years. Last night she ate like normal and had a big poo before bed but this morning she was lethargic and wouldn't come out of the coop. I managed to get her to drink...

I had a baby Muscovy that got hurt a few days ago, I got her all warmed up and she was feisty as ever, so I put her back with mom and siblings. That was Sunday, I believe. On Tuesday, I fed em all, everybody was fine. We left for a few hours, came home and she was dead. Today I found another...

My Rottweiler was attacking my hen when I came home, and he ripped off a huge chunk of her skin and ate it.

I read the assisted hatch page in its entirety four times. After my rescued Muscovy internally pipped, we waited 24 hours before assisting by making an external pip. I then waited, per the instructions turns, 12 hours (no activity) before creating the zip line and opening the air pocket. After...

It's chilly here and my 1 year old hen who is used to much colder is suddenly panting with her mouth open, her wings away from her body, and when I walked in on her it looked like her mouth was watering. She's never done this before and she's refusing to move when I lifted her to isolate her...
