Hatching
The other chickens were keeping her from eating, so we have been keeping her in a separate cage. She is eating and drinking now. She's still on medicated chick starter food and has electrolytes in her water. She was wormed a few months ago. This morning our rooster attacked her - pecked her and pulled out a mouthful of feathers. I grabbed him right away, but she just fell over and laid there. I think the others know she isn't doing very well.

This morning our rooster attacked her when I let them out to free range - pecked her and pulled out a mouthful of feathers. I grabbed him right away, but she just fell over and laid there.

Is she eating and drinking?
What are you feeding?
Have you wormed them?
Didn't see your answer to these questions asked twice.
