Sleepy chicken

Welcome to BYC.
I recommend that your worm her and the rest of your birds as well. You can purchase Valbazen liquid cattle/sheep wormer and dose each chicken orally using a syringe without a needle. Dosage is 1/2ml given orally to each chicken. Redose again in 10 days.
Cut back on all the treats/supplements and stop the DE, it wont do anything. Feed them only the layer pellets. Here's where you can order the 500ml bottle of Valbazen:

Can i ask why stop the supplements? the books say they should have them, and they tend to not eat their pellets if i don't give at least a quarter of the supplement. I already tried today and they were pissed at me. Apparently its like eating hamburgers and fries, and they want their fries. I cant quit the DE i already mixed it into their bag of feed. And its like 3/4 full. i have an autoship on the way. I got a dewormer.

You dont need supplements in feed. The vitamins and minerals in the pellets are already in the feed is all that is needed. It's like a kid in the candy store. They prefer to eat the goodies instead of eating the pellets as they are supposed to.
Stop the goodies. When they get hungry enough, they'll eat the pellets.
