Sick chicken

[6 girls]

We are new to raising chickens this year. We have had our 6 chickens for about 5 months. Rescently one of our chickens is hunched up her comb is flopped over and has very loose stool. The other chickens have started to chase and peck at her. Ever since they started laying we have only got 5 eggs, not sure which one is not laying. Any ideas to what could be wrong with her?

Welcome to the BYC flock! We are glad you joined us!

You may want to try posting in the "emergencies" forum to get a better response. Be sure to include other details like if she has lost weight, if she is eating/drinking, if you have ruled out things like lice/mites, etc.

Hello and

We are glad you joined us! X2 on trailers advice, also could you post a picture of her so that we can get a better look? It may be something serious, and then it may be as simple as the type of breed she is, some breeds combs flop over like that. Hope I can help to see what's wrong with her.

a picture would help if she isn't the type of breed to have a floppy comb

I agree with the previous greeters, a picture and posting on the emergency forum will help. Here's a link to get you to that forum:

Good luck, hope your girl is ok.

I'm sorry to hear about your sick hen.

It sounds to me like she could have some sort of internal laying problem, but I'd definitely post in the Emergencies (linked to by NorthFLChick) section for more answers.
