I currently have 10 pullets hyline got them as 2 week old chicken now they are 14/16 weeks very attached to my babies but 1 is very disinterested in food or the flock or anything over past 2 days what could be wrong and what can I do to help her.
I got my chickens as a new interest for my 9 and 11 yr Olds ( and me lol) as I hv many happy memories of my mum having chickens as a child and now she has passed away it makes those little things mean more I don't want to loss one of my girls so be happy of some advice please we live in nz it's spring and have had rain a bit of late they spend days free range and a house at night water avail all the time and feed 2 times with pullet grower currently not laying yet

Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow

I'd do what @sourland suggested as that could be what's wrong. You'll have to treat all of them as they could have it and show no symptoms.

We also keep their grower crumbles out all 24/7 so they can have as much as they want. If mice are at issue at night, just bring it in at night, then put it out the next morning.

I hope your little one gets better!
 
:frow hi and welcome from the heart of America! Your kiddos could learn some geography by marking a map of their new BYC friends here. I am in Missouri, also called the Show-Me state. Always happy to have New Zealanders here, most everything I know about your beautiful country I learned from Lord of the Rings movies! :love (I know there are no hobbits, lol)
