Hello,
As titled, the young lady has not been the same since her pen mate passed 3 weeks ago. She finished her 2nd course of flubenvet 2 weeks ago, but she is not gaining weight despite what seems to be a normal appetite. She eats growers in the day, and chick crumb mash at bed time, has tonic/vitamin water and access to greens, grit and the outside to scratch around if she wishes (she has only just started going out, as she has never wanted to). I also alternate the water twice weekly with ACV, and 1 day just water.
She is a fussy eater, so I know she hat not eaten too much of anything out of the ordinary, only just recently enjoying some blueberries. She wont eat scrambled egg, porridge, corn cobs or anything I offer her, while her new pen mate, a young rooster is expanding his taste buds eagerly
Her tail is mostly down, and she is always dosing, and not very strong on her legs as she used to be.
I have separated her and removed food today after checking her crop at 3pm, and 5hrs since, it is still fullish, a little doughie, not squidgy, but there is lots of poop on the floor. No worms in poop.
History: She was purchased at a day old, along with a silkie, and raised with a week old sussex. UV light for a few extra hours in the evening over the winter, housed with medicated dust bath, roost, and access to outdoors.
Here is a pic of her looking miserable. Any ideas pls??
