I got a new pullet and she isn’t doing well this morning!

[Sagey_7878]

Hello everybody, my name is Sage and I am from Australia, and yesterday I purchased a POL Isa Brown. Yesterday she was doing good, eating, scratching around ect. (She is staying with my Australorp pullet) But this morning Beverly isn’t acting herself. I haven’t seen her eat, barely interested in grass and I’ve caught her a few times sitting down and sleeping. Anyone have any idea what’s wrong with her? Is she missing her friends at her old home?
Thank you!

Do you know what she was fed at her old home? A quick switch in feed might make her feel ill.

Not only can new birds bring in disease, existing birds can make new birds sick.
Stress of moving can trigger latent disease.

I have some medication I can put in their water for stress and also have vitamins in it.

A dose of vitamins won't hurt and will give her a boost.
But my advise is.....don't go overboard trying to treat something that may not exist.
Give her time to settle in.
