Max is a ten month old hen who seems a bit off lately. She's not eating much, spends most of the day napping under a bench, and isn't laying. I took her to a vet, who gave her an antibiotic and an appetite stimulant, but she seems less and less interested in leaving the coop or doing much of anything. I'm not sure what's going on with her.
There are two other chickens in the flock, a rooster and a hen. Both are fine, and all three get along. Max did spend last week stuck in the coop with them because of construction, but there were no injuries, and everyone seemed fine.
Any thoughts on what I can do to help her destress, or if stress is the issue at all? Thank you!
