My buff sussex hen that i resued is starting to loose weight.. she's gone of the mash and only eat's corn and scraps. Were worming our chickens tomorrow so should that help? If not is there anything i can do or look out for? She's only about 2. Thanks

Ensure you worm them with Flubenvet as it's the only one that does the job properly.

Hopefully the worming will help her health, and she will re-gain the weight she has lost. 

Unfortunately corn and scraps aren't a full balanced diet for a hen, so she really needs to be encouraged to eat her balanced ration every day.  Perhaps you could try adding some water to her layer mash to dampen it a bit and see if she prefers to eat it that way?

You could also try adding some avian multi-vitamins to her food, to make sure she is getting everything she needs.

Good luck with your girl and let us know how she is getting on.
