I'm getting very worried about our hen.
-9 month old sicilian buttercup
-eats and drinks normally
-still social but a bit less energetic
-still the boss (pecking order wise)
-wings have been droopy for about two weeks, one wing looking very thin and spinny
-picked her up today and she's very very skinny. She was freaking out when i was inspecting her and something sounded like 'dislocated', when i put her down she walked and continued normally
-Hasn't layed an egg in about 3 weeks
-NO sign of mites or lies
-her poop is very dark (grenish black) and a bit runny
-we feed her leyena pellets and cracked corn. She still loves her yogurt with oatmeal every other day.
-introduced two new hens about 1 month ago and they all seem healthy and friendly.
No cedar shaving around, not too cold, their coop has a timed light and a heat lamp that goes on when temps drop below freezing. Doesn't feel like she's egg bound. (not sure)
Lots of love.
Help!
