    My chicken is shaking, tail down, not eating much

    I just came back from the vet with my hen. She is only 8 months old and had all those symptoms that you described. I was worried to see her lethargic, sort of sad, closing her eyes like sleeping with a little trouble breathing. The vet did an x-ray because I thought it was egg bound, but she...
