I might do that. I'm just worried that I won't be able to tell if/how much she eats if she's with the others. Her crop was only full because we made focused efforts to get her there, and it wasn't easy. She won't go for the wet mash (that's how I discovered she was off to begin with... She's usually a mash eating machine). The weird thing is she did her normal territorial displays when the mash was out, intimidating others from the bowl but then wouldn't eat it.If her crop was full last night, and empty this morning, I would put her back out with the flock today to see if she eats and is less depressed. That is just my opinion, but use your own judgement. Rather than giving seeds and oats, I would put out the usual chicken feed, and mix some in a pan with water. Mine usually all attack that at once.
She pooped again, normal color but a little on the wet side. She ate corn kernels, meal worms, and sunflower seeds but none of the good stuff (feed).
I have a vet coming to the house tomorrow to look at her. She said just focus on making sure she eats anything (within reason) as long as it's something to keep her from shutting down in the meantime. Fingers crossed we get some answers.
