for the last week one of the chooks has not been laying. today i noticed one of the rangers is been pecked at and also spending time away from the others. it also does not look well in itself. she seems to be haunched up and the tail end hangs low and seems very quiet. not really sure how to deal with this cos if this continues can see she wont have long to live, any advise welcome cheers

Is she still eating and drinking? Has she been wormed recently? does she have lice?

 

Are there any other symptoms?

[over easy]

yeah would say yes to all of those, and she was wormed maybe a month or so ago

[over easy]

except for lice i meant sorry

If she isn't laying...could she possibly be egg bound, maybe trying to pass an extra large one?

Here's a couple of threads about egg bound hens, if you think that may be the problem:
