Thursday February 20th our chicken Lulu, was demonstrating the "penguin" waddle, along with distancing herself from the flock. She was still eating and drinking, but not herself. She seemed to want to stand and would close her eyes while doing so. We brought her inside on Friday (the 21st) to better monitor her behavior. She had foul smelling diarrhea, but still was alert. We thought she might be egg bound since she hadn't laid in 2 days, so we did the warm bath treatment, a vent exam, which ruled out egg bound since we felt nothing inside her vent. Then I thought she might have worms and tried one day of Wazine, but no improvement. She doesn't seem to be improving and I have exhausted BYC looking for answers that matched her symptoms. Lulu is now losing feathers, won't eat and we are giving her water with Corid (we are on day 2), I thought maybe she might have cocci. But now with the eye discharge, I'm at a loss. Her poop isn't so bad smelling now, but she also hasn't eaten in a few days, except for the yogurt we are diluting with water.
I would appreciate anyone's input and suggestions. Lulu is a 2 yr old Gold Sex Link, with no health issues in the past. No one else in our 15 chicken flock is exhibiting any of these symptoms.
