Hey all!
I went to feed everyone this morning and one of my favorite hens was not well. She was laying on her side and appeared injured. I can't find any injuries on her. Wings, neck, legs, feet... Everything looks normal. Her vent is clean. I don't hear congestion or see discharge from her nostrils. She is really weak and looks somewhat like she got her bell rung. I brought her inside and offered her food and water. She drank and has a great appetite. I don't see any mites/lice on her. She does feel kind of thin. I'm not a good judge on how much meat they should have on their breasts but she feels like she has almost none. Her plumage looks to be in good shape too. Anyone else have this problem? She is with he Pygmy Goats and mini pigs so she could have been knocked around I guess. But she's been with them for months.
