Chirping
While my family and I were gone on vacation, our neighbors were taking care of the chickens. When we got back (last night), they said that one of the chickens had a broken leg and wouldn't step on that leg. They were on vacation for a couple days as well, during which some family friends took care of the chickens. We believe that they caused it. The neighbors said that this has been going on for at least 3(!) weeks.
Bullet's Symptoms/Issues:
not yet done a physical examination. Thankfully, she is eating some moistened layer pellets and drinking.
Bullet's Symptoms/Issues:
- Will not step on right leg and it is very weak(I checked and there is no visible breakage and she can still move her leg)
- Lethargic and huddled in a corner
- Droppings are watery and bright green (like grass green)
- Slightly underweight or bony
- Comb is slightly black/purple at the tips (frostbite?)
- Other chickens are bullying Bullet
- Almost all feathers on back, tail, and vent are gone (my rooster caused this, it is the same on my other BPR, just not as bad)
