Chicken Chiquita
Animal obsessed :)
Alright so I have a 4 (?) year old hen Sesame, and recently she's seemed to have lost her balance, coordination, and mobility.
Today I noticed her out in the sun on the ground and concerned I went to check on her and she was struggling to get up. She also trips over things and is a lot slower than a couple weeks ago.
She looks unwell too, her wings as of today droop all the way down to the ground, and her fluffy butt is quickly becoming very dirty. Her comb is also slightly pale and she doesn't forage around in the yard anymore.
I'm very concerned, its been almost two weeks and she's just declining.
She also seems unable to get on the roosts and sleeps on the ground. I provided a bin full of bedding so she wasn't sleeping on dirt.
Any suggestions of what I should do or what may be wrong with her???
Oh one last thing, when I pick her up she is very very light and her breast bone sticks out so far.
Thank you so much for your time and help, I'm very very worried.
