This definitely isn’t just a molt. As far as I can tell her crop is emptying overnight. She’s drinking more water than normal. Seems a little more like herself today but still not 100%. Her mom had liver issues, but I’m not seeing any of the signs of liver disease in her.
Frankie, Turken/bantam Cochin hen hatched 7/11/23 has suddenly become lethargic and was disinterested in food but still eating a little, now has completely stopped eating. She’s still drinking but has lost a good amount of weight, doing the whole standing poofed up sick bird thing, but still...

Nibbles just got a weight check and he's a bit underweight. He gets free choice Layena and cracked corn along with scraps. What can I do to help him gain a little? Everyone was wormed in Jan.
I feel like I'm going crazy here. Nibbles' bumblefoot has started acting up again. Does anyone know of a way to help keep chronic bumblefoot away? He's been on baytril so much I'm afraid it's not helping anymore. He's currently getting his feet soaked in Epsom salt, de-colorized iodine put on...
