Noticed on Monday morning when I fed sprouted wheat (an all time fave) that my EE girl, 1 1//2 yr old didn't even seem interested. To me a chicken uninterested in food is a bad thing, so I began to watch her more carefully and though she was drinking and pooing she never went to the feeder. She has progressively gotten more inactive and her poo is a scrambled egg color that just seems to seep out sometimes. I soaked her hiney in a bucket of warm water day before yesterday as it was nice and warm out but thought it was too cold today. She still manages to get up on the roost. She stayed in the coop for three hours after everyone went to free range and it made me cry to see how slow and stoic a trip she made to hide in the bushes with the other girls. Her crop has been soft all week and I can't feel any abnormal lumps or bumps around her vent. I don't know what to do for her, she doesn't seem in pain. Her 28 sisters all seem fine. Sorry it's so long but I am alone here and worried.
