My little hen Early, seems not her self.
She seems to be walking slower, and stands in one place for a long time. Then, a little while later shes running around and completely fine.
This goes off and on.

She is 3 years old, and doesn’t really lay egg any more. Sometimes she will lay paper thin egg. She lays them as if she’s just pooping. She was never a good egg layer, and the shells were always thin.

A year ago she got really sick. I thought she was going to die. However she got better.


What could this be?
She is a thin hen, and will not gain weight. We leave food out all the time.
Today her poop was a little white, and watery . and vent is a little dirty.

I know she is not getting bullied, because we only have 2 other hens, and one is broody, and the other one is her best buddy.

Please help. I love her dearly, and do not want anything bad to happen to her.

Thin & not gaining weight suggests a parasite like worms. When was she last wormed?
