I have a Barred Rock young hen who seems to have poor eyesight and hearing. She is part of my flock of 9. They're all 6 months old. Ever since I moved them to their run and coop she has been odd man out. Her comb has not developed as it should and she's just a bit smaller than the rest of her companions.
She eats and drinks just fine, poop is normal, crop is good too.
When I go into the run to feed treats the others overrun her and take everything. When separating her for treats she doesn't seem to see or hear the fly larva hitting the ground and just pecks around them.
I believe she is the chick I nursed back to health when she was in the brooder. She was very distressed and failing.
She's active and looks healthy enough but am I missing something in nutrition for her? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
