What do you do when your hen is doing all the normal functional things but still seems off? Not lethargic, exactly, but noticeably quiet and low-key? She hid for the first time ever the other day. (Perched, not on a nest, just sitting in the dark.)
No fluttering or balancing when I pick her up or move her around, which isn't usual for her.
I brought her inside for an epsom salt bath, no signs of injury, mites, etc. Eating, drinking, pooping, moving around, but somehow just not herself. I'm waiting for her to lay an egg before I let her go back outside but something just feels wrong. She's just not perky like normal. What would you do?
