I have just come back from 2 weeks holiday and my parents looked after the 4 hens. They all seemed fine but had turned their beaks up at the pellets I had changed to from mash. They are now back on mash but my light sussex seems to have started a second moult this year, she is a bit lethargic and tonight her left eye is closed. She opens it now and again and there is no sign of redness, discharge or breathing problems. I did treat for lice 2 days ago as I saw one on her and she seemed to be preening alot.

 

Any ideas? Is the second moult caused by lice and could the closed eye be anything serious? (Myco) although no sign of any other problems.

 

Hope I don't have another sick hen, already lost one this spring :anxious:
