Banty Hen brooding

16 years ago

Please help! I have 14 hens and a rooster. Each one has a name. Love them. Raised each one from a tiny chick and saved the rooster from certain death. Over a month ago, my 2 Banty hens decided to sit on a clutch of eggs and they are refusing to leave them, even though the eggs have been removed. I went out there today, and was astonished at how these little girls looked, very pale combs, losing feathers. I don't know what to do. I have spent two days taking them off the empty nests and they run right back. We have a large, fenced yard for all of them and the best of food and treats. I have had bantys do this before, but not to this extent. I am very worried about them. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks
