My 3 1/2 month old Delaware pullet started to be a little droopy about a week ago. It has gotten progressively worse, until today where she is just sitting on the floor with hers eyes closed, not moving. When it started she would take theses little "naps" but then she would go on pecking and scratching. Now she doesn't even go outside. She is limp if you pick her up. Sometimes when she naps she tilts her head to one side and then snaps it back. Sometimes she does that repetitively and it looks like she is twitching her head. None of my other 27 pullets seem to have the same thing.
I keep my pullets in a 8x10 coop on straw for bedding. They have had there run up for about two weeks. there is no grass in the run - only dirt. I have another flock of hens about 200 yds. away, and I have a pen of broilers about 20 ft away from the pullet shed, on the opposite side as the run. I feed Purina's Start & Grow.
Please help! Thanks!
