Chirping
I noticed yesterday that one of my bantam cochin hens isn't doing too well. She's a year ish old. She's off balance and not moving around a lot but alert and not making any in pain noises. We just got rid of her bumble foot, so I've been up close with her for the last few weeks. She seemed fine up until yesterday. Her crop feels squishy but grainy. She doesn't seem to want to eat or drink much when I hold her. I've got her isolated now. She's always been a problem with keeping her rear clean, and when I was checking her out yesterday, it was dirty, so I washed her off. I dont feel anything egg like in her, and she doesn't seem to be straining to lay. Her poop today seems normal to me. I will attach a picture. I've given her some Greek yogurt and water with chicken vitamins in it. I lost one of the other Bantam cochins a few weeks after I got them last year to something similar. I discovered they were infested with mites or fleas and got that all taken care of, and the other 3 have been doing well since. I'm wondering if this could be scaly leg mites? And if that could cause her issues? She doesn't have any lice or fleas that I can see. There is no blood in her stool. One of my young roosters took a liking to her, and I'm wondering if she's been overbread? Her vent was a little prolapsed looking yesterday, but it went away with some lubrication. Im attaching pictures of her, her feet, and her last poop. Hopefully, that will help some. If anyone has some suggestions I would be greatful.
