    Acting timid - Not Eating Much

    The others haven't been too too bad...but she sure is scared of them. She avoids and runs past them all, poor thing. She has been sneaking food away from the others, when no one pays attention. I have a bunch of feed stations now. Then once a day I have her in the coop solo, and feed treats...

    Acting timid - Not Eating Much

    Crop is emptying, so I think this is okay. This morning I tried giving her all kinds of treats, and no real interest. Sunflower seeds, black soldier larvae ... could get maybe a beak full of yogurt, and a beak full of scrambled egg. She just wasn't having it. She is drinking a lot, so I...

    Thank you for this. We will re-check her crop tomorrow morning. For main food, we feed her layer pellets, and fermented layer pellets with wheat and field peas. For treats, we give black soldier larvae, sunflower seeds with shells, and scratch mix. Sometimes she will get cherry tomatoes...

    This might help. This is from today ^ (photo of droppings). I think this might be a huge clue. I saw another forum where this was Clostridium perfringens? Anyone know what droppings like this might indicate?

    Not that I noticed. I will check though. Something I didn't mention is she seems to be drinking a lot of water...though I don't know whether that's just me watching her closely.

    Acting timid - Not Eating Much

    This is her first fall, so she is not molting. Just for reference, she is 7 months old and a Buckeye. It has probably been atleast a month since I know she has laid an egg(maybe more). At first I was not sure if this is just fall but maybe she is having trouble.. I will check her abdomen...

    Acting timid - Not Eating Much

    Hi All - This is our first year of raising chickens. I am not sure whether my chicken is ill, but I thought that could be it, and so I am posting here. Maybe it's bullying though? She is at the bottom of the pecking order right now, so this could be it too. I was hoping someone with more...
