She is a Bantam Millie defluer cochin cross. She's can't weight more than a lb.. She is 1 year old.
So I had quite an adventure with my birds. A little over a month back they had wetpox/fowl pox. We got through that and most of the flock seems fine. Well I noticed she was backing up and shaking her head so I took her into the vet. I gave her 3 days worth of antibiotics about a week ago. She is broody so I didn't see her out for awhile. I did today and noticed she is doing it worse than b4.. Upon closer inspection I noticed the top of her beak is turning black and has a chip in the middle. I know this is not the result of bullying as she has been in my broody/growout pen. I am super scared for her. She has 2 fake and 1 real egg under her. I was planning on trading her fake eggs out for babies when my incubator babies hatch. The live egg died. I left it since there are only 2 days left untill hatch.
What is this? Should I put babies with her? I think babies could help by getting her back out in the sun but I don't want to give them an infectious disease. Thank you
Update: No vet is available until Monday to see her..
