A poorly hen

so we moved the bantams from the barn where they have been hiding eggs  to the field where hey have lots of space . But the  pekin bantam cockerel is not well.

Hes moping round the henhouse , not pecking at things as vigorously as he usually does.
A closed eye ( ? conjunctivitis) , off food and empty crop, and not as lively as usual and with a bit of a cough.

The  pekin hen we got at the same time has faithfully been staying in the henhouse with him







Meanwhile the other bantams have been off exploring their new environment , seemingly with scant regard for the cockerel








I'm afarid this may not end very well.
