The wee chook pictured is either depressed, or sick, or both.
Does anybody have any idea from looking at the picture what might be wrong with her?
She's always been a bit of a "runt" (smaller than the others), but is usually full of energy.
She comes alive at mealtime, but apart from that, tends to just stand, not doing much, mostly by her self. [My chooks are free range in my garden].
Some of the other chooks are pretty mean to her, but she still has enough energy to run away from them.
She has had scaly mite in the past and we regularly apply oil.
The chook behind her doesn't seem particularly well, either, but she is moulting, so I know that can be hard on them.
