    NEED ADVICE: Day 3 with sick hen

    NEED ADVICE: Day 3 with sick hen

    I have a 2+ year old laying hen that has been lethargic and not eating since Saturday. I found her upside and almost lifeless in her coop Saturday morning. The only symptoms I can confirm are that she is unable to stand up, is very lethargic, and hasn't been able to eat or drink on her own...
