My girl Lucy is a 3 1/2 yr.old Barred Rock. She is entertaining molt and has stopped eating, laying and sleeping with the rest of the flock.
Is this normal behavior for a hen of her age?

I've seen several hens be very lethargic and isolated for at least a couple-few days during molt.
They snap out of it, tho may roost separate as those pin feathers are 'uncomfortable'.

For heat stress relief....EL and ice pans.
