Droopy wings

[casportpony]

Only 4.7 pounds? That's only 2.1 kg, which is extremely light for a hen old enough to lay eggs.

Will re-weigh her in the morning outside instead of in the coop with the shavings and sand base. They are getting Purina layena omega3 this is the highest calcium I could get, the local tractor supply does not always have game feed. I am thinking of adding ultra kibble to increase the protein, thoughts? Found a thread by deerman about feeding peafowl and made a lot of sense.

Weighed her again outside the coop and she weighed 5.0 lbs still light, she looks heavier than she is.

How prominent is her keel?

I don’t notice any protrusion when I pick her up but will make a definite observation tonight.

I am concerned because any time I have weighed an adult hen they are no less than 6.6 pounds.

I think her body score is between a 1 and 2. She does not show any symptoms of a respiratory infections or cankors. She was wormed in December with Ivermectin. Her poop looks good. We have LA 200 but no tylan, have not been able to find any. Would 3/4cc sq be too much for her?

Next how do I get her to eat.....I tried some peanuts and she ate them. The peanuts were easy to put on the roost, this is why I tried them.

Have given her a dose of All in One and put it In the water for the pen. She does not display any signs of a respiratory infection, she was eating with the flock this morning, we take the leftover feed from the day before and use it as a scratch.

reviewed the camera, she ate and drank several times during the day
