I'm about 10 minutes old for this website. So if this isn't the right spot to post what Im about to post please forgive me!
I have 6 RIR hens that were given to us about a year ago. They are all at least 1-1.5 yrs old.
This morning we found one of our girls looking like she was dead. I brought her out. And she just limply lay in my arm. I began giving her water from a water bottle and she drank it up like she hadn't had water in a long while.(they are watered morning n night). Within 5 minutes she began perking up and took bits of bread from my fingers. She began gaining strength but was acting very unsteady, like she was dizzy. Her right foot didn't seen to work quite as well as her left. She doesn't have any visible wounds. She does have runny, yellowish, creamy colored poop. She is drinking, eating, and moving around now and seems to be improving. Resting periodically.

When the sick one falls over its like she just gives up and lays there. I have to come along and pick her up and nudge her to get her moving again. I'm baffled. Her comb is a little flopped over and her red skin under her beak is a bit pale. Idk.
