My hen, Candy, just lost her last coop mate of 5+ years. She shares with four newer hens now, but she quit eating since foghorn passed and she won't forage. It's like she's starving herself. I'm sad and don't want to lose Candy too! 😞 What do I do? Will she come out of this funk? I appreciate...
So, things got better as the evening came up. She did lay an egg late afternoon early evening... that's about when she started feeling better. It was just weird. I was so worried! She's never done that before.
My Leghorn (her name is "Foghorn") hen has a droopy tail and seems to not move around too much. She's laying down right now, but earlier she was standing and walking around sllooowly. She's not fluffed up or anything. Her comb looks like it could be a little lighter in color than it was...
