Sorta new at this keeping chickens thing. I've got a hen that's clearly ill. What to do? Take to a vet? Euthanize it?

Really slow, head always retracted, appetite is down, and now an eye is partially shut.

Maybe isolate it, just in case...they eat much less when they are not laying...maybe she got her eye pecked? but doesn't sound good though...good luck

Thank you. The others seem fine, so that's good. Might have gotten bullied, she is the lowest in the pecking order.
