This morning I found her sitting down in the straw in the coop. Don't think she got up on the perch last night. I also had to go in to pick her up; she wouldn't move let along actually come out of the coop.
Separated her from the rest of the flock today. First, I cut the feathers from around her vent. Then, I put on plastic food service gloves and checked in her vent. Didn't feel anything stuck in there. I put with her a small dish of water with a little ACV. A small dish of plain yogurt. And any chicken's favorite food -- meal worms. The most she moved today was 3" one way or another. Most of the time she sat. She did not eat or drink that I could see (even the meal worms!).
One small poo today, just white liquid. Crop is completely empty. She usually has one or the other eye closed.
I'm clueless, this came on very fast and I'm watching my other birds for any signs of illness (none so far). Not sure she's going to last long.
Sunday, I'll clean out the whole coop in case this can be spread to the other girls.
