I don't know what's wrong with my chicken

Mosquito bites can lead to fowl pox which is a nasty disease and far worse than mosquito bites. There is a pox vaccine you can buy to vaccinate your flock against pox, not mosquitoes.

They are 7 months now, do you know how we can get the vaccine, any trust worthy websites?

How is your hen doing?

 

[Hens24]

If you're asking about those with fowl pox, they've made a full recovery! If you're talking about my older hen who stopped laying, she seems better, but she's still quiet, and she still hasn't laid an egg since April when this started. She eats on her own now though and drinks water, but I'm still worried about her. Do you think it is a moult?

Have you kept up with calcium supplementation? She could have reached the end of her laying life or she may have reproductive disease or she may be moulting. Does she have pin feathers that indicate moult?

I don’t know if I linked my article to you in this thread but I wrote one about reproductive health in chickens. If you read it I detail ways to check for active lay and signs of an internal issue. It might help you get a clearer sense of what could be going on with your hen.

I'd say either reproductive disease, unfortunately, or moulting, because she's only a year and 2 months old, and I'd assume she'd still be able to lay because the other chickens I got with her are the same age, and they mostly have no trouble laying. I feel like it's a moult or, could it really be reproductive disease?

 

[Hens24]

We've continuously given her types of calcium supplements, along with molasses and honey too, I feel like that's why she's gotten a little less depressed, but also the other hens she'd get along with have started pecking at her and pushing her away from the food

If she has repro disease she will show signs of active lay without producing eggs, for example how big her vent is and the position of bones at the vent & keel. Her belly may feel abnormal e.g. hard, distended. Her poop may also be abnormal especially in the case of infection. Her crop may not empty overnight. She may be lethargic, hunched and sit by herself.
