We adopted 7 hens after losing our original flock about 3 months ago. Things have gone really well with them, but about four days ago I noticed one of them was acting odd. I was so worried it was egg bound considering her age, but it’s been about four days so I can at least cross that out. I induced vomiting in her the first day I noticed her behavior was off and nothing majorly concerning came out (no mass amount of food that couldn’t get down or anything). But she’s just acting slow. She isn’t waddling but just doesn’t want to be too close to the flock. At first I thought maybe she was in a really bad molt- and she is, but this slow behavior just seems off? This is my first year of chicken ownership, so I just want to help her. I give them poultry booster in their food and scratch and they of course have access to water. She’s drinking and still will eat things. I gave her some egg the second day of this issue too.
