Hello my 2 yr old hybrid hen is not eating properly, is losing weight, and unless approached just stands with her tail down and her head in to her neck. She will move if approached with her tail up. If I put Apple out she will eat this but not endlessly. The same applies to corn. She used to eat it till it was gone but now onky eats a small amount. She used to be top of the pecking order but now allows others to take her treads. Her pooh contains water but also had semi solid veg matter, which I think is grass and white in it. I felt the crop tonight but it wasn't very full. I think she is drinking vitamin laced water.
She has generally been off for a couple of months but has got worse the last 2 weeks. I have a local vet but they don't specialise in chickens. I have checked for lice and she is ok. Her vent is also ok.
Any suggestions
