3 month old chicken acting odd

[harley1985]

Hey there, I am new to the poultry community, I have a 3 month old chicken who for the last past 2 days has been standing still almost like she is playing possum . She can walk, lay down, stand . but she doesnt really move much continues to stand still for most of the day. She ate some for me , but her behavior is very strange . I have removed her from her flock for the time being so she doesnt get picked on if she is ill. As well one of my friends have a few chicks from the same bunch and two of her chicks are doing the same thing. IF someone could give me some advice, or what could be causing this it would be greatly appreciated .. thanks in advance

No not at all , i looked at her vent to and it all looks normal

I'd still start them on some corid as a precaution though. Not all strains of Coccidiosis act the same, but they still attack the gut.

Is she pale? How is her weight? Is she breathing normally?

What type of food do you guys feed them? Are you feeding them chick starter?

no she doesnt seem pale , she is all black, her weight is good .. and her crop feels good her breathing seems fine, its just really odd because she looks normal just her behavior is really off . atm i have her in a laundry basket and she is free to come and go as she pleases but she just stands or lays down i did notice her walking to her food n water dishes . she also ate some of a boiled egg for me , she moves her head looking around like normal . its really weird . my friend also has two that is doing the same thing , we had got them at the same time from the same lady. first i thought maybe she was getting picked on so i took her away from the others, but then my friend msged me and told me that two of hers were doing the same thing . she has had birds for years and has never seen anything like it . i picked her up she sits on my lap doesnt really care just looks around ... its just extremely odd !!
