Sick hen!

[bravevline]

There's this white hen we have who has not been well lately. She is sonewhere around 3-4 months old, like all of the chickens. She weighs significantly less than the other chicks, who have at least a few pounds on them. She seems to have even an ounce! She's literally light as a feather (which seems impossible with her having several feathers)! She doesn't serm to have as much body heat as tge others either. She doesn't hardly squawk much either. The birds are often handled by young children (except the geese, which scare the crap out of them) and she doesn't argue much, except for a tiny little strut in the other direction, while the others run and scream. I've seen her eat and drink very well, as she still does. I'm really starting worry about her, and even how she will last this night.

Have you wormed the chickens? If not, it's well worth doing that first. If she has a heavy load of worms, she won't be able to eat enough to keep the weight on.
