    Lethargic 7-year-old hen = sad or ill?

    No, she was lethargic before that. Then I found her sleeping in the nesting boxes, so I block them off at night. She is still eating well and laying eggs. He weight is the same. Just not moving much - it seems her legs are sore.

    Lethargic 7-year-old hen = sad or ill?

    Hello hive mind - I need your help here. Our original chicken (Colette, the Andalusian Blue) passed a couple of months ago and Hildegard (Australorp) has been lethargic (or depressed?) ever since. Her tail is down, she doesn't walk around much, and doesn't hop up on the roost bars at night...

    New advice: lethargic hen, pale comb, not eating

    Hello friends - I need advice! Our poor Andalusian Blue hen (Colette) did not come out of the coop today, is very lethargic, and most alarming, her usually bright red comb is very pale. She let me hold her for a long while and kept closing her eyes (unusual). She is not interested in food...
