Hi, so one of my 2 polish chickens is staying in the coop and not coming out of it often... she also gets frightened easily and looks to be lighter then the other chickens... is there something that is wrong? If so please tell me a solution!

Might not be the same, but I had the same breed--a rooster and 4 hens in their own pen---all seem to be eating good but they got to the point they started stumbling easy. I rushed in and grabbed the rooster---he was having a hard time walking straight----he was hollow felt like--real light----so I caught 2 of the hens----they too were very light weight. I wormed them right then----for 3 days. They were very healthy in a few weeks, filled out good. They would have died if I had not wormed them---no doubt in my mind. With 67 chicken pens and probably 1000+ chickens at that time--I did not have time to hold/handle each one----just glad I always took time to watch them as I was feeding.
