is her poop normal? there is no obvious sign of trauma?

 

[Leigti]

She hasn't pooped yet. I can't find any signs of trauma. She is just so skinny.

 

[Hinotori]

Is her crop squishy?

 

[Leigti]

Is her crop squishy?

No, I can't even feel it at all. Yesterday she ate and her crop was full when she went to bed.

 

[Leigti]

I just checked on her, she ate her sunflower seeds. And I could feel them in her crop and it felt normal as far as I can tell.
I haven't noticed the other chickens keeping her away from food. She eats a long with them.

Could be starting to molt? Looks a bit scraggly through the neck like she's starting to drop feathers. Some hens just get a bit weird when molting.

 

[Hinotori]

No idea here. I have a hen just recovering from sour crop who is slowly putting weight back on

 

[pennyJo1960]

think I might be with Gena on this she eats does she lay any eggs?

 

[Leigti]

Maybe she is still in malt. She was losing feathers a month ago. She hasn't laid any eggs lately. For at least a month. I haven't weighed her but I know she weighs half of what my others do.
