Unsecure chicken perches

[JoMonkey]

Hello,

 

We have 3 hens, and had them just under two years. They all moulted over winter, and two started laying again straight away, but one just never started again after the moult.

 

We've wormed them and done health checks, and she generally seems healthy, however, over the last week or so, she seems to have become a bit lethargic, and tends to puff up her feathers now and then as if she's cold, which is very strange in this weather!!

 

Most of the time she's fine, but she's having more tired moments than the others, and isn't laying.

 

Any ideas??

 

Thanks a lot,

Jo

DId you use Flubenvet to worm her?

 

I'd do a basic health check **click** to see if anything obvious shows up.

Yes, we used Flubenvet, after seeing it recommended on here.

 

Thanks, I'll look at the health check and see if we've missed anything.

What breed is the hen?

 

When you got her two years ago was she a youngster or was she rehomed to you?

Hi,

 

They're all warrens, hybrid hens. We got them at POL, so about 18 weeks old I think.

 

Thanks, any ideas would be great.
