Hatching
Hello,
I had 9 hens. I noticed one very lethargic and having trouble keeping up with the other girls while running across yard. I set her aside and tried getting her to eat and drink and no luck. I gave electrolytes via dropper and she slept in the coop. Next day she was not walking and all day she slept. I would wake her to give electrolytes. She passed that night.
The following morning (yesterday) I noticed another chicken did not come running for the morning treats. I've been watching her yesterday and today and this is what I see: diarrhea, not eating, lethargic, drinking water.
Any clues as to what could be going on with my flock? I'm utterly confused. They are 19 weeks old. Not laying yet. I have Terra Vet and electrolytes in the water now. I cannot seem to coax this one to eat either. Any tips on that would be appreciated.
When I try to isolate her she is very stressed out and wants to get back to the flock.
Thanks in advance.
