I don't have a rooster. She has had feather probles since she was two years old (she's six now). We have a dominant hen, but I know she didn't do it. Hens pecked her tail feathers out.
She was fine yesterday! I look at her today and she's moving slowly and not talking, becoming weak. She has some stuff coming from where she lays eggs. What is it? Can I help her? She's a very special chicken to me and I want her to live through this.
