I have a flock of 20 birds; they're around 18-20 weeks old.
Moving on to the actual problem.
One of my Easter eggers starting yesterday morning seemed lethargic. I dismissed it, but by evening it became enough to be somewhat alarming. I have a dowel rod posted just under knee high, and our main perches higher. She couldn't even jump up and perch onto that lower one- I had to help her up.
This morning it was worse. She's a shy chicken, and will get alittle uncomfortable if I even look at her while she's right next to me. Now she won't struggle at all being picked up and held.
She has some kinda lump under her breast, but lower than I think the crop is- I'm hesitant to say it's a problem with her air sac: it may even be alittle fat. She also has diarrhea that's watery and yellow- she doesn't seem to strain though.
There are times where she'll get up for food and water, or just stand idly, but is mostly laying down.
I don't really have access to antibiotics or even a chicken vet, so I wanna know what this may be and I need to know what if anything I can do to help her.
I have corid if it could be coccidiosis, but won't give it without another opinion, but that's pretty much it for medicating.
