We have a three year old new Hampshire bantam 'Molly' who over the last week has become very quiet. She now sits at the back of the nest (not in a nest), in the darkness all day. I don't think she's broody. We tried to take her out to get some fresh air and sun but after 5 mins she made her way back into the nesting area and sat back down. I'm getting worried - she stopping laying quite a few weeks ago when she became poorly, then got better but then seems to have got works. Over the last few days we have been feeding you food and water by syringe, however offer her sweetcorn and she acts like a wild animal and eats the lot frantically. We have also been bathing her in warm water incase she is eggbound, although I can't feel anything inside her and she is getting quite skinny.
Could she have Coccidiosis or has anyone got any other ideas? Thanks in advance!
