    Sick Easter Egger

    Hello! Just want to say, I have dealt with a lot of sick chickens, but I have never had these symptoms. Gracie is a 4-year-old backyard wheaten EE. I have never had any of my EEs get sick before, they don't overeat, so the chance of gleet or sour crop is very low. Yesterday I noticed her...

    Hi my loves, Im back and a bit anxious. Edit to add: After researching I did see that those symptoms are present in Gapeworms, but like I said, she is only kept indoors, alone, in a sterile brooder, so how would she have gotten gapeworms? It says they get it from infected feces of earthworms...
