I have a 4 year old buff orpington that for the past 2 days has been keeping distant from the rest of the flock and has stopped roosting with them and is laying by herself at night. Today I gave them some lettuce and bananas as a treat she usually loves them but today she wouldn’t touch it and this was her poop. What could be going on with her? I didn’t see any mites or lice and her crop felt fine I went to check on her tonight and she’s trembling 😞

It could be anything. The trembling concerns me. It sounds neurological, but if she’s starving herself, she may be weak and hypoglycemic. Do you know if she is drinking and eating? What are the temps like where you live? Could she be hypothermic? (cold because she can’t regulate her own temp). Do you know her laying status? At 4 years, a laying disorder is most likely, but it’s hard to know until you assess her a little closer, starting with whether she’s eating and laying.
