Buff losing weight

[pumpkinman]

We have seven chickens, all are doing well except for our 8 month old Buff Orpington . In the last 2 weeks ive noticed she rarely eats and is losing weight. The only thing she eats now is grass or leafy food. And she moves slow and mostly avoids the other giirls.
Any ideas, whats might be going on and how to fix?

The first thing I do when I have a bird acting this way is to have a fecal test done for worms and to check for external parasites that might be draining her of energy. Do you have a vet nearby that could run the fecal for you?

I think so. I know of a vet that will see chickens. But i wont be able to do it till friday.
