Down chicken.

[gene housley]

Found a young hen down in the pen while others pecking on her, no obvious wounds but de-feathered around vent. Can't stand and her hackles are up. Did not find any feathers in the pen. Help Please. Thank You

Doesn't sound good. Pecking generally is from crowding or protein deficiencies. Sharing more about your set up, and birds would help to determine what is going on.

@gene housley , if you could post your set up dimensions here others could help too. Sounds like your birds may be a bit tight in their current set up with a unwell bird having no where to go.
