One of our 3 year old marans has been a bit 'off' for the last few weeks so I have been keeping an eye on her. However recently we have had to rescue her from being gang banged by an over enthusiastic young RIR (7 months old who was bought as a pullet at 9 weeks....) and the hens were also giving her a hard time. So I have removed her from the flock and put her in a warm dry cage with food and water to see if she will perk up.
She eats apple v enthusiastically but doesn't seem to be eating much else - she is pretty skinny now but on reflection I think that might be because she has been bullied off food for a while. Her crop doesn't feel swollen, but she has quite watery poo. I have tried yoghurt with her pellets but she's not interested in that either.
I was going to keep her in isolation until she gets stronger and can rejoin the flock.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
