Hi, yesterday I noticed a hen closing her eyes on/off and not holding her wings up completely. I checked for water belly, crop issues, egg bound, mites or anything in her feathers. I don’t see anything. She is eating all snacks I bring out and hanging out with her flock.
I did add 3, 15 week old pullets on Wed to the crew. They lived side by side since April 20th. Wondering if she could be stressed with the youngins being there?
I changed them to all flock feed instead of a layer feed, until the littles are ready to eat it. Got worried it was the food and gave them a feeder if the old feed, netrena feather fixer.
I have her 1cc of rooster booster last night a scrambled egg and worms and she ate it all.
Any advise would be appreciated. Another seasoned chicken friend (that seems wrong, haha) came to look at her and she couldn’t find anything either.
