   I have two beautiful girls, both of whom roost together, however I noticed today one of my girls has gotten thinner than the other.
   She's eating well, and her skin looks fine. these are my first two girls so a bit worried should I just take her to the vet?
   
   - Nevermind I find someone who also has the same issue so will follow the advice on that thread - Sorry

   Welcome to BYC. I would recommend worming your chickens with Valbazen 1/2 ml orally, then repeat in 10 days. If you can't find Valbazen, the use SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer 1/4ml per pound of weight for 5 days. Try using a good probiotic such as Probios, or a poultry vitamin that contains probiotics, twice a week to help with intestinal immunity.
