This is the 2nd day that my hen won't eat. She looks at her food or treats but won't eat. She does drink her plain water. She has been lethargic and stays in her nesting box all morning and into the afternoon. By around 3pm she starts to stand and wander around. Her droppings have changed and this is what they looked like today.
on left was this morning and on the right was later today.
She gets moistened Layena as her main food and for "treats" she gets sunflower seeds (hulled), chopped almonds, corn bread, and 15 grain bread. I use the treats to drip her medicine on. She has been on meloxicam, for pain, since last summer when she was attacked by a dog. Her leg was broken and is shorter than the other so she hops or has a major limp. She has been in the house for the past 6 weeks because of the cold. When it is warm and dry enough she is in the yard close to but not with the rest of her flock.
She was wormed with Wazine and 3 weeks later with Safegard (fenbendazole) in the fall.
