I have read a lot on here and tried searching but I'm not real sure what to search for so I'm sorry in advance if this has been covered.
I have a barred rock hen named Babe who seems a little off to me. She seems quiet reserved and somewhat sleepy compared to my other birds. She has been eating fine. Also her comb and wattle are somewhat pale. And the feathers on her kneck area are sparse and what's there looks like quills. Not fluffy feathers. Is this molting behavior or something more serious?? I've started feeding a yogurt oatmeal cod liver oil mix to them a little more frequent just to give them a boost.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
