sick hen

Thanks so much for the information. I just ordered the wormer that you suggested. I'll just keep handfeeding whatever she'll eat. It was good to see her pecking around yesterday with the others instead of just hanging behind looking sad...

Check her for mites/lice,look under wings around vent area,base of tail feathers. Watch the poop,green poop usually indicates not eating(besides eating grass clippings etc.).

Yes, external parasite infestations can also cause weakness, so be sure to do this, too.
