5month old Red sex link hen has a pale comb, comb is very short and stubby, lethargic, a lessened appetite, definitely some weight loss, legs seem to have dulled in color, droppings seem normal although less often due to the appetite issue. Yet she still stands with her tail feathers high most of the time, is not being pecked or bullied by her 3 other healthy chicken friends, her eyes seem clear, vent is normal. She free ranges 2acers of property daily with the others but is always lagging behind. It has been a few weeks of this. Roughly 8days ago I dewormed her thinking that was it.. no change. So I gave her a bit of poultry Nutri-drench and some B12 and they also have save-a-chick probiotic and electrolyte available to them in addition to clean water and I have made medicated crumble available for her to eat. My vet is out of town. I had another chicken earlier this summer with similar symptoms but she lost all of her feathers on her face and would 'lose' the rest of the flock when she was only 4feet away Ishe ended up not eating loosing weight and dying. Any suggestions are helpful
