We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of at least three non-negative periodic solutions for the first order functional difference equation Delta x(n) = -a(n)x(n) + f(s, x(h(1)(s)), ..., x(h(m)(s))). Our main tool is the Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem, and our main application is a hematopoiesis model in population dynamics.
