Hi everyone,
I have an exchequer leghorn hen who is 3 years old. She's always been fed on layers pellets, but recently has stopped eating them. I didn't notice at first because she still eats the treats that we occasionally give them. When I saw her looking a bit lethargic I wormed all the hens. But a couple of weeks later she was still looking droopy and lethargic so I had a closer look and discovered she is bone thin. As an emergency measure I fed her half a weetabix in milk, which she scoffed. I did that for 3 days, and she perked right up, but as soon as I stopped she went back to being lethargic. Her crop is always flat (except when I've just given her weetabix!) I have put garlic and/or apple cider vinegar in their water quite often. It seems she just won't eat pellets, but will eat other things. Any ideas?
