Hi all. I have a wonderful Americauna hen that is as tame as they come. She's right at about a year old. She had mishap last summer but survived that and has been great ever since, laying well. Just the last few days though she's been off. She's the last one out of the coop in the morning, wants to lay down and sleep mostly and doesn't seem to be eating much and, although I haven't watched her 24/7, she doesn't seem to be drinking much either. It just turne pretty warm here and I would think the water intake would increase. Her dischare has been quite yellow along with the grass she ate this morning. I've just pulled her inside and kenneled her up to monitor this better. The other 7 hens and 1 roo seem perfectly normal. Her vent looks clean too. Any ideas? I'd hate to lose her after being such a trouper through her ordeal last year. And sweet is an understatement of this one's personality.
