I have a 6-month old Black Australorp hen who has been acting a little sick, moving slowly, ruffling her feathers, keeping her head tucked in, for the past couple of days. I just brought her inside to the kitchen for some TLC and to check on her eating, drinking and pooping.
Not positive if she is laying yet but my egg count has been down from 3-4 per day to 2-3 since she's been acting under the weather. My other four girls are all acting perfectly perky and happy. After poking around the site, it sounds like it could be a lot of things, not sure how to proceed. I am definitely a novice to chicken husbandry...
