Hi , Just notice my little bantam runt (about 7=8 weeks old) aint well today, he is being picked on by an old hen in the flock and was introduced with five others last week to three I have had for some time. She is eating ok and drinking but very weak on her feet. I have taken her from the group and placed her into a seperate hut next to the rest. Any idea what it could be.

Cheers Mike Uk

Sorry to hear this, Mike. 'Weak on her feet' could be anything. What's she eating? What do her droppings look like? Any discharge?

Her flock mates may not be allowing her to eat. Check her breast bone to see how sharp it is. Is the area where the breast muscle is kinda caved inward? She may be starving. Offer vitamin water and high protein foods.
