I just left my small flock out for the evening. I come back half an hour later, and I see one of my hens just standing still, didn’t think much of it until I want a closer and realize that she didn’t run away because she usually just runs away from me but I got closer and she just stood there and I look closer and she’s just standing there with her mouth open like she’s thirsty, or some thing, so I give her some water that she does not even acknowledge. Now I’m very scared that she might not be breathing or has something stuck in her throat or some thing just horrible and I’m terrified that next time I go check on her that she won’t be alive. I’ve already lost too many chickens in the past three days and I don’t want to lose any more , any help would be very, very welcome and appreciated.
