My 4 month old buff Orpington won't eat! I currently have 2 chickens, both Orpingtons, and one, Tina eats like crazy, but Patrice just won't eat, or so it seems. Usually I'll throw down meal worms for a snack and they used to both love it but now it's just Tina. I haven't really staked out or anything yet, but It seems like she hasn't been eating her regular food either. What should I do??!
 
It could be peck order. Peck order is usually with more chickens but could still be the case. If you don't know what it is I will tell you. Peck order is happens in almost every flock. Big or small. Anyway, one chicken will be a victim and the other chickens won't let it eat or drink. Peck order is natural. It is a flocks way to get rid of unwanted chickens so there is more food and water
