Anyone having experienced either of these conditions, your input and suggestions are appreciated. This us my 1 yr. old Ameraucana. We thought she was pulling her own feathers or possibly being picked on, and we've been treating & monitoring her for 3-4 weeks. She's been eating and drinking. About a week ago, she stopped laying. (She's our only blue egg layer) Today I went out to put antiseptic & no pick spray on her bare spots, and I found her like this. Poor baby! I've been reading everything I can find about draining the fluid, but I'm hesitant to poke her without being sure. Her diet consists of Nutrena layer pellet feed, scratch grains & oyster shell grit. Fresh water daily.
