We lost two chickens about a week apart, but it’s been a month since they passed. One we noticed being stand offish and so we watched her a little, then one morning she was still sleeping in the coop in the morning. I isolated her and made her scrambled egg, but she was gone by noon. The night another chicken in a different flock, but close by, couldn’t stand. We isolated her and nursed her about a week before she was gone. Both were severely underweight when we got to them, but it was hidden by their feathers. Now, I have a hen that seemed stand offish and not running to the food so I am worried and isolated her. She ate most of a scrambled egg last night. This morning I check on her and she has feathers in the cage…could she just be weird if she’s starting to molt? Should I deworm all my chickens and put her back with the flock? I have injectable ivermectin…I could treat them in their water. Any advice would be great.
Edited to add that they are moved around in poultry netting and so have fresh ground.
