Hello, one of our hens seems to be sick. This is our first year with chickens so I am looking for some help. She isnt staying with the rest of the flock very slow moving. Keeps her head retracted and tight to her body. She doesnt respond to anyone approaching her or picking her up. My dog even wen right up to her and she did not respond. I checked on her this morning and I thought she was dead. I rolled her over and she just stayed like that but wasnt dead. Now we live in New England so the weather is cold. The other 5 hens are showing no signs of anything so im not sure its the cold. I put her up in the nesting box and turned on heat lamp (which I havent used all winter yet). Any help would be appreciated. thank you
