One morning a week ago Dixie was completely normal. In the afternoon she had acquired a limp. We had a chicken with a limp before so I wasn't too worried. Then her limp went away and she started moulting. Then she went into what I learned is a hard moult. She seemed to be off her food a bit, but I read that was often the case. She also had terrible diarrhea. Now she hasn't eaten for a day and a half and I'm so worried she won't make it.
None of the other chickens have been affected so I don't think it's viral. I just can't imagine what is going on, and I love my little girl so much. If anyone has an idea, or has experienced something like this, I would so much appreciate your input.
