Hen with tail down.

[BetsyRoss]

My (limited) experience is that the tail down is a sign they are not feeling well. In both cases I confined the bird in a dog crate in a quiet place and put Corid in the water for Cocci. By the end of the day they were feeling back to normal and I returned them into the flock.

What’s Corid?

One of our hens was attacked by a dog a few days ago. She doesn't appear to be injured, though she is subdued and her tail feathers have been down since the attack. I suppose she is still scared or in shock.
