I have a 7 month old Amerecuna hen that has been slowly getting weaker than others bought at the same time. Both wing tips are sagging, almost to the ground. She is visabily smaller than the others, and doesn't venture far from the coop when I let them out in the morning. 1 of the 6 has started laying this week, but the rest haven't. Any ideas what is going on?
 
Get her segregated in a warm dry location, fast.
Any blood in droppings? (wondering about cocci)

Never hurts to offer vitamins for poultry or baby vitamins in water (no added iron) . Is she eating?

Condition of the drop? Is she thin?
