Check her temperature also to rule out infection. Normal temperature range for hens is 40-42 degrees Celsius. Thermometer inserted about 1-2cms into vent. Maybe put her in a dog crate and take her inside for a few days for some extra TLC. Mine are both in crates in the spare room. I let them out...

Is she sleeping a lot during the day? That is my main issue, although both are a bit better today.

Hi there, thank you. Yes both were wormed with Fenbenzadole 6 weeks ago and have also checked for mites but no sign. They are a bit better today and out sunbathing at the moment, so fingers crossed.
