I have a small flock of 20 silkies and showgirls. I spend as much time with them as I can and check on them before I leave for work and when I get home every day. They are from 4 months old up to a year and all get along mostly. Tonight when I went out to make sure everyone was tucked away for the night, one of my youngest hens was under the coop laying by herself. When I picked her up she felt very thin and kind of listless. I brought her in and held her on my lap for a while… checked for mites and felt her crop and just checked her out a bit. I didn’t find anything but I don’t know a lot about chickens. Her eyes seem ok, and I didn’t see any injuries on her. I have her in a cage inside now with water with nutridrench and apple cider vinegar and some food with some oats mixed in. What should I check for and what else can I do before going to the vet? She is tiny and she is a showgirl.
