Slow girl

[Suep666]

Hey folks.. been a chicken keeper for some years and I’ve seen many different illnesses and injuries... and you guys here have been the saviour of many of my girls with your advice.. anyway.. Our Cream Legbar.. Newt.. she’s 3 years old but recently she’s gone a little slow.. her wings have dropped and she’s lost a lot of weight.. she won’t eat her pellets even in a mash form but she loves the extra bits we give like porridge or weetabix digestive biscuit mash that kind of thing.. and she relishes it.. she’ll fight off others too.. but I just don’t know what’s up with her.. her face and comb are nice and red... eyes bright.. still moving around albeit a little slower .. any ideas chaps ???

She might be eggbound or slow crop. Inspect her for lice/mites and worm her.
