Chicken acting strange?

[the.whole.crew]

My black Minorca (almost three years old) has been acting strange for the past day or so. I haven’t been home, so I haven’t been able to monitor whether she is eating or drinking. About an hour ago, we let the four hens out in the yard for a bit, and she was out and about, but as soon as she came back in she was looking down again. Any idea what’s wrong?

The other chickens are fine, as you can see from Charlie’s little head there.

Have any nutri drench? I'd get that in her. Does she feel thin(sharp breastbone)?

She’s a pretty scrawny bird so she’s kind of always skinny, but she doesn’t look thinner than she usually is. I don’t have that, do you think it’d be okay if I ordered it and got it in a few days? I mean she was out and about in the yard but got all weird once back in the coop.

Yes I'm sure it's fine, it is a very good thing to have on hand. As long as she's out and about, not just standing outside doing nothing, I don't think there's much to be concerned about right now. Just make sure she eats and drinks at some point while you're out there.
