Lethargic hen tapping the ground with a foot

[georgejlee]

I have a Rhode Island Red that seems a little off lately. Her comb seems pale, she is acting a bit lethargic, and often she will stand and tap the ground twice with a foot. Any idea what might be the problem? I think this hen is about 3 years old now.

Have you ever dewormed her? Is she eating and drinking? How does her poop look?

No I haven't dewormed her. She is still eating and drinking. I haven't paid attention to her poop, but I will watch more closely.

I would consider worming her. Is it really hot there? She could be a bit overheated also.
