Thank you for the feedback. I forgot toHard to tell what's going on with the beak, the photo is not clear enough. Did you raise her from a chick or was she purchased as a started pullet? She may have damaged it a some point.
Comb looks to have a bit of minor frostbite which is not that uncommon in the winter.
I would focus on her eating her normal feed, omit the scraps and give her the egg or tuna as a treat. Get the vitamins into her daily.
Being separated for 6 months with her own food/water, you would think that vitamin deficiency would not be an issue, but it's worth a shot.
Sometimes all it takes is for a hen to have some time taken with her, get a little extra TLC and encouragement to eat/drink to see improvement.
Mention I’ve kept them on a diet of Purina layer pellets so I’m a little stumped on how she’d get to be vitamin deficient her sisters are also on the same food and are very healthy. She is moving better today. Although She doesn’t have any desire to scratch around in her run instead she walks and lays down and gets her food that way.
