In the Brooder
My 20 1/2 week old hen seems sick. She has a paler face and comb then normal and seems lethargic. I’m not quite sure what is relevant so I’m just going to add more information.
Right now she is in a small crate with water with a little hydro hen. Also gave her a mix of scrambled eggs with one crush tum in case she is trying to lay.
Below is some pics of her plus her skin in case it is lice. Any help would be appreciated.

- Seems to be eating
- Haven’t seen her poop since she got sick, will update with a picture when I can
- We do use a diatomaceous earth / water mixture to kind of paint the walls and roosts if the house to keep pests out
- Was given the fowl pox vaccine 2-3 weeks ago
- Last treated with corid about 6 weeks ago
- Crop seemed empty early this morning but she is eating
- Belly doesn’t feel overly hard no watery
- Has not laid first egg yet
- We feed the chickens all flock with oyster shell on the side since we have roosters and 2 geese. She does occasionally eat the goose food.
