Hen eating very less

[Rizu]

Hi
My hen of local indian breed is just out of her brooting but her apetite has decreased drastically. Her brhaviour is totally normal and also started meeting with rooster. She scratches ground and eating wirms but her apetite has decreased. Any idea why so?

1 hen per 1 rooster? Not enough hens for him. He will breed too much with her. You said she started meeting with the rooster. New things, introducing new flock mates, changes in their normal daily routine, changes in the coop, can cause them to slow down on eating sometimes.

Here are some things to check:
1. Check her over for mites/lice
2. Check her crop. Make sure it is empty in the mornings. It can be full at night, but
should be empty each morning.
3. Check her for intestinal worms. Look at her poop, and/or have a vet do a fecal float.
Sometimes when they get internal parasites, their comb gets pale.
4. Give it a couple more days, and see if she starts eating more.
