I have a Buff Orpington hen who is right at a year to two years old, and she for some reason can not fly up to my hen house. She was fine about three or four days ago, but all of a sudden since last night she can not fly from the ground to the door. ( I have a ladder for them to climb up. ) She also tilts her head to the left (almost all the way around) when she's looking at something, she's eating and drinking fine and still laying eggs. She just can't seem to make it 'up' anymore.
Any advice?
Also I placed a new rooster in the coop to replace my old one and he does want to leave her alone so she has some feathers missing from her back because of it, I have several other hens in the coop with them, he just really likes her. Maybe he's the problem?
