The titular hen has only improved slightly over the last three days, if at all. She still eats nothing but seeds, and she sits down as soon as I stop nudging her to move. Unsurprisingly, she was not interested in soaked pellets. I have also noticed that one of my other hens, which is of the same breed but almost a year older, is also starting to slow down and eat less. I think that she is also moulting, but I need to check.
I wish I could tell whether these hens have contracted something bad or are just being hit hard by the cold weather in conjunction with moulting. I have yet to come across any droppings with blood or yolk in them since this illness started.
