Something is wrong with one of my girls

[Squeakie]

We have five girls and they seem to get along. One of the girls acts like she doesn’t like the other four, only when they are locked up for the night. She won’t eat when we made special dish for her and she kind of looks sick. During the day, she runs around with the others. We can’t find any indication that she has been abused by the others. Very worried about her. Thank you.

She is not eating food we give her. We give all five corn and recently leftover turkey and their regular feed when we lock them up for the night. We thought that the other four crowded her out so she couldn’t get any food so decided to make her extra dish. She wouldn’t eat that.

Just try sitting out with the chickens (I am asuming they are chickens if not my apologies.) You can learn a lot about there pecking order from just a few minuties spent with them. Best of luck!
