Lethargic chicken

[jibmaster]

I got an americana chicken that has been moping around for several months now. Just stands there with eyes closed.
Weighs almost nothing.
What's up with that?

How old is she?
I had one of my EEs do this several months back (she's 1.5 years old). I separated her for 5 days - dewormed her, and fed her medicated chick feed because she was so thin. She was in the middle of a molt, too so she looked pathetic. She seems much better these last few weeks and is more energetic and looks to be adding some weight.

You need to answer the questions at the beginning of the emergencies forum.

Has she ever been wormed? Worms, lice & mites can pull a bird down before you realize it.
