My easter egger has recently mysteriously fallen ill. She was puffy for a few days but still eating drinking and it went a little unnoticed (new chicken owner). Until yesterday sgen she refused to leave the coop i knew something was wrong so my husband and i quickly went to the store for somw oxytetracyclene and electrolytes. She has no other symptoms she is not pale she has no visible wounds no swelling empty crop clear eyes no fluid leakjng from anywhere. This morning after only 1 syringe of antibiotic water she managed to break free (i tried to close the door to keep others out didnt think id have to keep her in so it wasnt really closed right). She is out and strong enough to walk but seems a little slow moving and uncoordinated maybe a little less lethargic than yesterday but still lethargic. Since she wanted out i put her in a wire dog crate to keep her still and let her get some sun. Gave her some boiled egg and water as well but im just not sure what is going on. Also not egg bound. If anyone has any idea please let me know.
