Hi all.
We have a really sick 14 week old silver sussex that certainly has never been a straight forward chicken. Some of her symptoms and illnesses include:
-constantly sleeping (will only wake up if you tap her)
-when breathing, her neck bulges
-she has a snot like liquid coming out of her nostrils
-over the past few days she has stopped eating (we haven't seen her do it at all, even when the others are)
-she had a serious case of coccidiosis quite a while ago but we cured her and she hasn't been showing any of the symptoms associated with it eg. blood in poop
-sometimes she makes a clicking sound when she breathes
-she smells really bad (even though our other hens that live with her do not)
-she has crispy feathers on her wings that she has had since she got coccidiosis and they have not gone away
If anybody has any ideas as to how these could all be related and if their is anything we can do to save our girl could you please let us know. Also do you think we could be infecting our other 2 hens that she is living with that are the same age?
Thanks in advance
