One of my hybrid hens about 4 1/2 years old has stopped eating.
She will eat meal worms, a little mixed corn, bird seed and greens, tomatoes, grapes, bread, worms etc. I only offer a small amount of these things late afternoon and sometimes not at all. The other two hens eat pellets and mash when in their run but not her, even when there is absolutely nothing else. She will go to bed with her crop completely empty rather than eat pellets or mash.
She's is active, glossy feathered, tail up runs for food but doesn't eat it if it's not to her liking. She's getting quite thin and has stopped laying.
I'm going to leave them shut in their run for a couple of days to see it it will force her to eat chicken food but I fear this anorexic chook cannot survive too long on a diet of almost nothing
Any ideas ?
