Her symptoms over three weeks .. she stared losing feathers had bald patches but she was molting got feather fixer fixed her right up feathers started growing back . She is not acting normal. I noticed some mites on her legs the scales were lifted at bottom her and my rooster so i bathed their bottoms mainly their legs washed them treated them as directed ... she seem fine... then.

Could she be over heating? Are her wings spread from her body or is she panting? Weird question but whats her poop like?
 
hi there thank you for responding its really hard right to even get help with covid and her being a chicken but im going to call my vet ... i have been stalking her poop and havent noticed any changes and no overheating these chickens are spoiled pets i added more grit to their food change food to feather fixer only limited treats... im removing her today shes sooo skinny 😢 my poor Lucy her feathers were coming in nicely with the feather fixer now the new ones are falling out.... literally over the last month i have gone from dirt in their coup ro peppled sand best change ever helps to keep coup cool in hot weather easy to wet down and easy to clean much cleaner added small supplement to water not too much ... i know she sounds a little winded ( gapeworm) there is no gasping literally jyst the heavy breathing shes been talking a lot.
