Just letting everyone know that this afternoon Red stopped eating the baby food and looked in a lot of pain and a lot of discomfort. We decided to take her to the vet to get her humanely put to sleep. R.I.P Red!
I made the videos public so u can view them now :), Her belly is bloated. Her feathers were starting to clump up with poo just before she got sick, so I used scissors to cut them back for her and her bum is red. I'm not sure on her history with deworming and needles as I got her for free from...
Not sure how old she is Mistifier99, She was a giveaway because the people were moving away, So I took her home. They never said how old she was. Iv'e had her two years, she stopped laying eggs a couple weeks ago.
She seems to be breathing fast, and leaning over on one side. Every now and then she tries to move, opens her beak like she is yawning and her tail goes up in the air and she wiggles around, then lays her head back down.

Thank you for your reply, it's extremely hot here lately, so as soon as she showed signs of being sick I took her inside to be in the comfort of the aircon. I'm not sure how old she is but she was fine a week ago.
My pet hen Red is dying! she can't stand or walk! she's barely drinking, I fed her a couple beakfuls of apple baby food.
Not sure what is wrong with her? She's been like this for 2 days! Please help my fellow chicken lovers!
