My New Hampshire Red, Penny seems to be having problems. Last night I noticed her large comb has become limp and falling over. I picked her up and she’s lost weight and her crop was empty. Obviously, she’s not eating, but I don’t know why. This morning when I let the chickens out of the coop, she came out with the others so I threw out some scratch. She went after the scratch and ate. Tonight, her crop was larger but very soft and squishy. She’s also not quite as perky as normal.
Any thoughts on what this could be? She’s one of my favorites, and I really don’t want to lose her. I tried to smell her breath and it smelled ok near as I could tell.
