"Sorry I have to go home and take care of my chickens!"
"I'll be right there Mom! Just gotta get the chicken settled in the basement!" (Yes I have a hen living in my basement. lol I get complaints about her everyday!)
She is doing much better today now! Thanks for asking! I put her out with the rest of my chickens. A days rest and some special mommy time did her some good. I think she might have worms but hopefully it will be easy to treat!

My Buff Orpington, Einstein, is being super lethargic. She eats but has no energy, she isn't laying, she isn't preening. All she dose is sit in a lump in the run. She is all hunched up and her head is tucked in. She walks super slow but still tries to get treats when I put them out...
I would try quarentining him for about a week or so. I did it with one of my hens that was beating everyone up and it worked miracles! Also wanted to ask if he was being mean to you at all? If he is don't let him get away with it carry him around under your arm while you do your chicken chores...
