Hey again all;
One of my Pekin girls, Biscuit, seems to have come down with something. Rather, it doesn't seem like she's sick, but she's acting weird. Let me explain.
Yesterday she was all fine and dandy. Every morning after work, I go to let my flock out of their pen. All of them were chipper as usual: Excited to get let out. This morning, however, everyone besides her were all up and crazy wanting to be let out. After opening the gate, she was the only one left in there, and she was still sitting down. Going up to her resulted in the normal action that she always does; Putting her wings to her side and acting like I'm going to mate her (For some reason, it's always been this way).
Anyways, for the entire day today while everyone was outside and enjoying themselves in the pool and usual ducky antics, she stayed in the pen, laying down. I tried moving her out and about, but all she did was lay back down right away, or walk back to the pen and lay down in another spot. She drank water and ate food when she wanted, though, so she still has her appetite. Visually, I can't find anything wrong with her. No heavy breathing, she's not hot, no foaming at the eyes: Nothing at all, other than her acting....depressed?
