I have a 3.5 year old barred rock who is losing weight. Her comb is also pale, but she is fresh out of a hard molt. She is my top hen and still acting fine and bossy as ever, but she is eating less. I can feel her keel bone. She used to eat everything and now she is picky. Her crop is not empty, but not full and hard like usual at night. It doesn't feel squishy and no foul order. Could this just be getting older? No lice or mites. Stool is normal.
I have been trying to feed her some extra protein and a little nutridrench. Any ideas or suggestions?
