She is no better and maybe a little worse. I have been torpedo feeding her to make sure she eats something. Dribbling just water into her beak. I use the special feed with poultry cell and egg yolk. Not sure if I have any other options. I have contacted the breeder to see if there is any problem...
No mites or lice-although I have a problem with about half of the chickens in my coop! Clean out time tomorrow. The have a couple of good dust baths but it has rained so much that can't go into their usual dusting holes...

I live in North Dakota and we had a few days of critically dangerous air quality here. Keeping the chickens inside wouldn't have been helpful since they don't have a filtration system. The smoke has abated somewhat. Today, I noticed my Cuckoo Marans hen (4 years old but typically amazingly...
