    5 month old hen, sick or injured, unsure what is wrong

    Went out after lunch and noticed their inside water bowl was empty and the above mentioned hen was standing by it. I got water and filled it up, she very quickly stepped up and into the water, standing in it, then kind of worked her head down along her breast and stuck her beak in the water...
