Kindly your mother hen was on poor nutrition during laying period her condition is a nutritional deficiency as the bird naturally would spend less time feeding during incubation period. Kindly have the bird on high multivitamin supplement in addition to giving directly dissolved DCP in drinking water for 3 days. By day 4 should recover. Otherwise have the chicks on artificial box brooder as an emergency.
