Just last night, one of my wyndottes started wobbling and limping. It all happened when suddenly all of my hens were scared out of their coop by something, but I can't be sure what it is. We've seen possums, rats, and skunks around my house though I'm not sure if it's any of those things. I know...
I have a 3 month old leghorn who has just started to act strange this morning. Her eyes seem a bit more dim than usual, and she won't walk. I was just thinking that she's just a bit overheated (it was 97° today) but it seems to be more than that. We got her cooled down and she drank some water...
