My 9 month old EE hasn't layed and egg for a few weeks and was acting a little more tired then normal. So I picked her up and did a general chicken check over. He crop has food in it but isn't full. She is very thin, I can feel her keel bone well and she is very light. I have seen her drink. Her comb is red, but I've seen it redder. Everything else seems fine, abdomen is not swollen, vent looks normal, can not feel a stuck egg. I gave her a dose of valbazen even though she was wormed in October. No change. I'm thinking of doing a round of corrid just in case. Anything else I can try?
I just went to check on her and she is roosting underneath a big puffy Orpington to stay warm. I'm afraid I'm going to lose her if she doesn't put some weight on.
She's on the far left and back behind a LO
