1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Penelope is a Silkie cross. She is about 8 months old. (just a guess). She does seem to be thinner then she was.
2) What is the behavior, exactly. Penelope has droopy wings and doesn't run away when I come up to her. She is acts tired and sick. Her mouth is open, and she is panting.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? Two days.
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms? No.
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. No.
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation. Today is really cold, and it has been warm the last few days. It could be the sudden change in the weather?
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. She has been eating scratch and drinking water.
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. I haven't got the chance to look yet.
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? No treatment yet. I have put her inside of a box away from the other chickens with straw. Maybe I should take her inside of the house?
