My 2 year RIR hen is obviously not feeling well. About 3 days ago her comb began to flop over but she acted normal. Today she is just sitting in the corner and eating very little. She appears weak and just doesn't want to walk around.
I checked for any parasites and found none.
I check for...
Due to the nature of the attack, I have her seperated. All the girls are on high protein to help them through the molt. I will give her another chance at becoming a part of the group again in a week. If it happens again...she may become a has been :(
