is she going light or has she gone off her legs which could be a calcium deficiency[/quoteno she's bright enough  just lost a bit of weight

[pjc]

they will lose some weight if they are being driven hard by the cocks, often the hen won't even be allowed to feed proporly, just watch her for a couple of days and when they start sitting and she can feed in peace you'll prob find she puts the weight back on.

[Guest strapper]

it could be many things,including egg broken inside(which is rare).

have the droppings changed?

have she lost her power in her legs?

has she been flapping her wings fallen forward?

is she eating ok?

and of course drinking?...if so is she drinking excessively?

 

look for all regular signs .

Lock her in her box with minerals, water and a pot with peanuts sunflower hearts and canary seed in, that will give her an energy boost and anything she lacking.
