    Parasite or something else?

    Good evening, I have a chicken that is molting but seems a bit too lethargic for my liking. We had a girl pass away from being egg bound last week but earlier was showing similar symptoms to this girl so I think the egg bound death was secondary to something else going around. The facts: 1...
