A chicken has been less active for a number of weeks. She stands still a lot, often with her eyes closed. Head and tail slightly down. She still eats and drinks, but not much. The crop is very small when I check it. She is also very thin and the comb is not so bright red, sometimes a bit gray.
When we come outside she becomes more active. Tail and head rise a little more. When we put food in the run, she immediately comes to it. She does eat, but not as quickly or as much as the other chickens.
Last week I put Finendo Cox & Worm through the water for 5 days in a row. I don't see any effect of this other than that the comb looks a bit redder.
They have acces to layer feed and oyster shell. I now add some cottage cheese for extra proteins.
The chicken is one year old.
I can't control the poop, I don't know what's hers. I don't see any abnormality in the poop I find.
She hasn't laid yet.
I have 2 other chickens of the same age, only 1 of which laid last year. The other just started this spring.
Last November she had something with her crop. This was then remedied by adding cottage cheese.
I don't really know what else I can do now.
