So I have a 3 1/2 month old bantam hen. I'm still not sure of her breed yet. I'm thinking not mottled Cochin maybe? But for the past 2 days she sits in the corner or on the roost with all the feathers around her neck fluffed up and her tail droops. She's not eating much of anything and looks like she's cold. I brought her inside last night and gave her some Gatorade hoping that the electro lights would help. Then I put her in a large box with some food and water and she ate a little. I put her back outside thinking she maybe just was tired. All of the rest of the young chickens are fine and don't act sick and they don't seem to be picking on her. This morning she was laying in the nest box all by herself. She usually runs away and is not people friendly but she hasn't been putting up a fight lately. Any ideas of what could be wrong?
She is the chicken to the right of the D'uccle.
