Chicken with tail down, doesnt roost, stays in nest box.,

She doesnt look well at all.
Ive noticed a decrease in eggs for about 2 weeks, i was getting 6 per day from my six goldlines. Now i get three. No changes anywhere. Im going to feed some vermex today. Any suggestions on this one hen? Thankyou

Loss of colour in feathers, loss of colour in legs look how pale they are...

Eyes closed alot of the time.

Very sorry to hear about your flock. I'm no expert, but I can suggest a site that has a great symptom analyzer. Www.poultryDVM.com.

Good luck!

I'm not sure, but she could be egg bound?

Just inspected her found a few lice so ill treat the flock for that. Could that be causing this?

 

[EggresiveAli]

Was there just a few, or an infestation?

 

[nadrojsack]

Just a few from what i saw. Ive bought some lice and mote sust being delivered tomorrow, and put wood ash in their sand box. Do infestations cause such dramatic consequences? Ive had chickens for 4 years and never had this problem.

Ive just read this;

Since you are concerned about lice with ONE BIRD, a bath with a dog or cat flea/tick shampoo is exactly what you need. 

Ive got some in the house should i do this now? Any responses would be welcome thankyou
