Hi, thank you!
She’s been withdrawn for months, keeps separate from the others. Only in the last week she has been choosing to hide from the others rather than just avoid them generally. I’ve heard a few dust ups and noticed they all seemed to gang up on her together. I’ve removed her to my back porch. She watches them all from there.
She’s always felt lighter than the others, bonier. Her head is very pecked if that’s what that is. Now that she’s separated I notice she’s been the one with the abnormal poops. The others seem fine. She moves slowly and deliberately not weak, just cautious. I posted 4 pictures. Did they come through?

I want to treat myself. She eats and drinks less than the others only a few nibbles at a time. I gave her scrambled eggs, a piece of apple, some berries I picked and her usually egg layer pellets. She took a long time to eat the treats. But she ate them. Not sure if she ate pellets.

My 8 chickens 4 barred rocks, 4 barred rocks are 2 years old. They have a 4x8 coop and a 10x10 pen and free range most of every day. I keep the coop and pen cleaned each day. They get egg layer feed, water and a daily cupful of varied table scraps to coax them in at night.
