Peace, Love & Chickens ✌️
She is a 3 year old (egger? Idk TS didn’t know when I got her) and for about a week or 2 she hasn’t been herself.
She has been hunched down away from the other hens for a few parts of the day and then kind of with the flock the rest of the time.When I first thought something was wrong I checked her and her crop was kind of empty with fibrous feeing stuff in it. thinking it might have been eating something she shouldn’t have I gave some coconut oil and massaged crop. Did this for a few days along with deworming my flock and she wasn’t better still. I gave in and did some antibiotics for 4 days. She improved and was back to what I would say is normal.
Then probably 4 days passed and now she is back to looking hunched down. No mites, don’t feel an egg, just dewormed, her crop is normal now though.
Any ideas of what is causing her to be like this? Is it possible she is just being picked on and feels lonely? Just can’t figure it out
