I posted a few days ago about a molting hen. Now I am thinking she is not well. I couldn't find the question section so I will do my best to present the problem.
AGE: 9mths
FEED: layer, corn, boss, rice, greens,apples,barley,yogurt,scrapes,scrambled eggs she is not eating anything also I have tried salmon and tuna
POOP: normal
BEHAVIOR: staying isolated from the rest does not leave the hen house area.
CONDITION OF HEN: very thin crop empty
What have I done: I have checked her over no signs of mites. She is showing replacement of feathers. I have tried the foods above and then some and she has no interest in them. She does however peck around the food dish at the flooring but does not seem to me she is searching for food and if I toss it on the flooring she has no interest. Her crop is empty. The other hens have nothing to do with her and will chase her off or she will run away from them if they come towards her. She has always been a lone wolf but she is acting alot different now. She is not sneezing her comb is still red. She has not layed for several days but she is showing no signs of laying destress that I am aware of.
Can anyone give me any feed back, answer or avenues to look into?
