If any of you have bigger flocks and need to buy your feed in bulk, I just seen this:
One-Ton (2,000 lb) Organic Tote Feed | Nature's Best https://share.google/ZUORjN6lUcdSBgD1J

I went online,, but wont let me see the price. I suppose I could contact them on phone.
I was just looking out of curiosity. ,,, So that I could forward info to anyone needing bulk feed.

Woke up this morning to an apparently sick chicken. She's tucked herself in the broody breaker cage, didn't come out even for the sprouts or fermented feed (highly unusual), and wouldn't touch the normal feed I put in front of her. She won't stand up either.

Anyone have any thoughts? I don't know what that black stuff is all around her eye area. (Can't even tell if it could just be dirt??) The area is also balding. The black is only on one side of her head. Oh, and she was shaking her head now and again.

Was she getting picked on by the other flock membets?

I don't think so. She's typically the "top" hen.

Maybe another hen wanted to dethrone her?

She seemed to be getting left alone (not bothered). I was wondering if she was sick, or just dying for some reason. Not sure if that balding near the eye is indicative of something. Overall, my flock is pretty low-key, nothing ever too aggressive.

Looks like blood around her eye
