Help!

I got a sex link chicken on Saturday, she seems perfectly healthy, she drinks and is in really good condition the only problem is since I got her she Doesn't want to eat, her crop is always empty when it's time to roost she Drinks a lot of water but never eats my rooster calls her over except its as if she Doesn't know what to do. She's very anti social and wanders by her self but my rooster always keeps her company and so does my Banty hen. It's as if she's depressed I mean I did take her away from her flock mates when I got her. I don't know what to feed her since she dosent eat chicken feed and I'm feeling really bad about getting her I feel like I took her away from we family if chickens can be depressed, I'm going again on Saturday to buy 2 of her flock mates and hope she cheers up, any advice?

Is it possible she's being bullied away from the feeder by the birds you already have? I would put out a second food dish just to be sure. It could also be stress from being moved. Chickens hate change and it take them a while to adjust to anything new.

Good luck!
