she doesnt seem to be eating much and I dont think she is drinking, not that I have been sat watching her all afternoon or anything.
Am really worried.

Bring her in and give her some recue remedy and TLC, but maybe you have to accept she is on the way out...

Sorry that she is so poorly.

Sorry that she is poorly - have you checked for worms, what sort of poo she is passing (if any), is she egg bound?

One of my cockerels went like this and we bathed him in warm water, dried him off at the Rayburn then kept him in the hall for a few days and he is perfectly healthy again. I hope she gets better.

Maybe red lice or what ever they are, they drink their blood. Would cause anemia

well I can report that she is still the same, although perfectly perky and still laying, absiolutly no lice or anything gross so maybe that is just how she looks.
