Is it possible that she is just slowing down toward the end of life? This happened to my Austraulope just a few weeks ago. I thought she was not eating or drinking much because the other girls were being naughty toward her, which was very sudden as she (Ness) had always been the leader. She began to do odd things like walk right past me as I was coming to feed them. Then she would not come running back to the run after foraging when I called them back for snicky-snacks (mealy worms, cracked corn, strawberry tops, etc.). After five days of watching this decline, I scrambled her an egg and held her in my lap in the sunshine. She ate the egg right up. I put her back into her nesting box after an hour and gave her a little water an hour later. By the next morning, she was talking to St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.
