Comet is very light, hunched, not kidding up with others, barely eating.

Hi all, my approx 5 month old Comet is not active and not eating much. I've seen one smallish bloody poop bit, I scoop every day. I got them Oct 3rd. This started after having them about 4 weeks and a few days when first noticed. Eyes fine, comb is smaller and less colorful then they other 3 siblings the same age. Everyone else is just fine! I did find a worm in an egg, but that was from a Maran. Please let me know what to do. It's been about a week.

Is she laying yet?
research how to check for and treat chickens for bugs and worms. There is great info on BYC on those subjects.

Thank you! No, I'm thinking she's not, one of the comets probably is. I'm getting a smaller, light light brown eggs. She's worse today. Comb is part gone today and she looks yucky. She's really light compared to the others.
