her poop is normal i will add when i get homeI'm wondering if she's broody. She is a Silkie, after all.
Definitely look her over for health issues and poop pics will help. But losing weight, not eating a bunch, sitting in a corner and plucking her feathers could describe my perpetually broody Silkie hens.
Does she go back to the same place she was sitting - in the corner?if i take her somewhere with out her rooster she starts crying but she walks around a bit then sits down after a while like 15min
most of the time she does yup treated her with poultry dustDoes she go back to the same place she was sitting - in the corner?

Where are you located in the world?
Chook chow covered with molasses - can you please get a photo of the bag or tag analysis for what you feed?
I've never had a broody pluck feathers from her back end or back (usually only brood patch is plucked), did you see mites or lice on her?
Oh so you DID see bugs. Glad you treated her. You'll need to treat the rooster, too, and clean/treat their coop.I'll add a few pics when I get home but i saw a few then I treated her as soon as I saw them
How would I treat the coop as they're sleeping inside while I try figuring out how to treat the coopOh so you DID see bugs. Glad you treated her. You'll need to treat the rooster, too, and clean/treat their coop.
OK will doOk. I have one more thing to try to see if shes5broody. Put an egg right next to her so that it's right up against her side.
