Hi. Unfortunately when I went into my chicken coop today I saw my New Hampshire (Her name is Red) laying on her side. She is now separated from the flock and in a small little dog cage (brand new) with food, water, bedding, and a heat lamp since it is been especially cold this week. I tried giving her some herbs (oregano, sweet basil, and sage) but she didn't want to eat them. Her feathers are all poofed out and she often times tucks her head in. I think she had been victim of an attack since a whole bunch of feathers are gone and she has peck marks on her eyelid. I am pretty sure one of the bullies (2 of my barred rocks) did it. I don't think it would be likely they ganged up on her since the two peck each other, but it is still a possibility that I can consider. Right now I am just letting her rest. I am also opposed to using antibiotics. I've already tried to see if an egg is stuck but there isn't.
Any suggestions?
