I have a hen who is moving very slowly. Her comb and waddle have turned orange and seems to be drying out. She has a vey yellow look to her and tattered. None of my other 4 hens bother her. She is in slow motion all the time. Her neck feathers have thinned out and she is always in the hunched position seeming to stay warm. Her dropping seem normal but she is not laying. Any thoughts? I feel bad for her. I keep hearing that she might be molting but from what I've seen online, other than her neck feathers having thinned out the rest of her feathers are pretty much in tact. Our winter has been very mild here in Salt Lake City, Utah. After keeping her in the garage for about 2 weeks, I put her back in the coop with the flock so they wouldn't reject her. I would appreciate any advise.
P.S., I just added a better photo of her. She is looking a bit more tattered that usual because I picked her up to inspect her so she is looking very ruffled.
