So this is miss June ..I buy her 4 months ago and she was 3 months old. Since that she dont grow at all and she conctantly loosing weight, she is light as a feather. I dont know whats going on.. other pullets i buy are fine, my old hens are fine too. She have this condititon for 4 months and i think its miracle that she is alive.. i try separate her and gave extra food for 1 month but nothing helped. Its seems its not contagious for others no one show this symphtoms in 4 months.. what to do?

Have you seen her actually eat and drink? How does her crop feel? What does her poop look like? What are you feeding her?

Yes she is eating and drinking fine, her crop is fine but always on the empty side (she eats less) I feed her with polutry mix, whole grani wheat, leftovers, grass..
 
Hmm, perhaps it's a Barred Rock thing? About a month ago I saw another Barred Rock that was even worse. Is she your only Barred Rock? I got a Barred Rock pullet once that was seven weeks old. I brought her home and put her in with my five week old chicks. They were all bigger than her! To me, your Barred Rock looks fine, but I'm not picking her up and comparing her to anybody else of same age and breed. Some chickens don't grow as fast as others. Her feet look good and her face doesn't really look sunken in. Is there a slight possibility that she has worms or even a tapeworm? Have you checked her for mites or lice?

This is a photo when i buy her but she is same now.
I Will make new photos today.
yes she is only one barred rock, i brought home 5 pullets all diferent breeed and all 3 months old, and at that time she was the biggest one but literally she stayed same and others grow up and already laying .. I checked mites/lice on all hens weekly. But I cant describe you how light she is , almost Like she is only made of her feathers😭

Ok, I'll look at them when you post them. :)

Perhaps she has tapeworm? You said that separating her didn't help, so it's not really a sign of a bad pecking order. Plus, you said that you got them together, so on that, there shouldn't be a bad pecking order anyways. I'm wondering if there's something up with the Barred Rock as a breed. I haven't had the best of health luck with Plymouth Rocks, and as I said before, this is the second Barred Rock I've seen within a month of each other with this weight problem.
