Chirping
hello all! so we live in southern ontario and it is our first very hot day this year. well anyways, one of my 11 month old columbian rocks is acting very strange today. (for reference, she has dwarfism and doesn’t lay eggs, gets picked on sometimes) when i went to let them out of the run to free range, she was roosting where they go to sleep, and when i put her in the run for some water she went straight into the nesting box where it’s dark. note that the entire time she hasn’t let out a single sound, no chirps no chatter etc.
well i put her outside with the others and her bully came towards her and she didn’t even run like she normally does. the bulky chicken jumped on her and then she ran away. she made her way into a bush and stood there, closing her eyes after a while. she lied down and has been in that exact spot ever since.
i let them out at 11 and it is now 3:30 and she is still lying there.
i put a water dish and food bowl in the bush with her but i have not seen her eat or drink with my own eyes, she might of when i left.
does anyone know what this could be from? she appears very healthy, red comb and all.
my family member who let them out of the coop this morning says she didn’t notice anything was wrong.
