I have a question. I have a hen who seems like she's lost the will to live. She is at the absolute bottom of the totem pole, and the little ones will tolerate her but the adults will not. She was sick with diarrhea and weird looking poo, but she went through treatment with Corid and then two subsequent doses of Safeguard. She eats and drinks OK, she just gets hammered by the other hens and even the big roo because (I think) she got friendly with my little roo. I don't know what to do. She's also stopped laying back when she first got lethargic and kept her eyes closed all the time. She still keeps her eyes closed a lot. I feel so bad for her, she's just tormented so I keep her in with the young birds but pretty soon they're going to have to integrate too.

I hate when stuff like that happens, and I hate to see anything suffer. I just had to process one of my Cornish-X because she was having a hard time walking, and the others were being mean to her. Poor thing. I would probably cull her, animals hide how much pain they're in and you've done all you could do for her.

Chickens. There wonderful but they are animals. Set in there ways. I have EE's with my PRIR's. They are jumped on all the time. But they have each other. If she is liking the younger rooster let them. There will always be the one at the bottom of the picking order. They get treated like crap. Get run off from the food and water etc. It's just the nature of the wild. I keep telling people they are not dogs and cats. There chickens. They have there way. And actually they understand. As much as we don't want to. As long as she's healthy I would let them be. Put a new one in. Then she won't be at the bottom. And guess what will happen. She will pick the new and treat it like crap. That's just the way they are. Welcome to the life of chickens!!
