One of our POL pullets is looking unwell. She often closes her eyes and
droops her tail and doesn't seem to have much energy, although she is eating
OK. We only have four hens and the rest seem to be perfectly well.

What sort of temperatures are you having?
Heat stress is something that can affect chooks badly

It's very hot here but the others seem OK. This particular bird sort of
chokes/coughs occasionally too
