    Sick Hen - just seems "off" (tired, lethargic)

    I bought a group of 10 mixed chicks in mid-April (so about 5 months old). All have been healthy but about 3 or 4 weeks ago one of the females just seemed sort of "off". She has been tired, lethargic, and has dropped weight. She looks basically normal. I don't see any physical sign of...
