In the Brooder
I just noticed that my 1 yo RIR has a very pale and droopy comb. She also has her beak open and her wings away from her body. She's been eating and drinking, as well as foraging and otherwise acting normally. Her body feels very thin. Her crop feels empty. I don't think she's been laying for the past week. I don't feel any egg in there, but I don't really know what to feel for. I thought maybe it was due to the heat or moulting. My other hens are doing fine and look great.
They have plenty of cool water and layer crumbles. I use pine shavings in the house and a mixture of mulch, wood chips and sand over bare ground. I keep everything nice and clean, with sprinkles of barn lime and sweet pdz. I also give them powder probiotic in their crumbles and Ropa Poultry Oregano Oil in their water.
What could be wrong? We're all very upset because she really does not look good, and plus she's gotten really thin. We don't want to lose her!
