No, no mites. I checked again yesterday. I put her in the infirmary coop last night with fresh straw/feed/electrolyte water (and her own little heater since we're now down to low 20s)Does she have mites?
She's still coming out of molt, this can make them not feel well. With her being an older hen, sometimes they can have troubles when it they come back into lay.
I'd encourage her to eat her normal feed, giving the egg or some canned fish as a treat is always good too. Vitamins as suggested previously and consider deworming her or get a fecal float to see if she needs to be dewormed.
I've always read ivermectin is good for most worm treatment, is it not?
