I've got a chicken who's acting like she's sick. A couple of months ago she hatched a batch of eggs and has been fine since. She's always been a very healthy bird and had never acted sick in any way. However, i recently noticed that she wasn't walking around as much and she's started to kind of lay back on her elbows with her feet stretched out in front of her. She also now can't stand up very well and has a hard time keeping her balance. Oh and the other thing is that she's acting almost like their's something stuck in her throat but it feels normal and doesn't seem like something is stuck.
Her legs aren't paralyzed as she can push them against my hands when i hold her. She also doesn't look pale or anything. She usually loves eating sunflower seeds out of my hand, but she now won't eat anything i offer her. Water is also difficult to get her to take.
Does anyone know what this might be and what i could do to help her?
