Hi, I'm back again. One of my chickens, an Easter Egger mix that's about 18 weeks and named Seven of Nine, is not doing good. She's behaving strangely for herself; moving slowly, was stuck briefly on her side when I came out, has her wings drooped like shields, and looks to be having trouble eating pellet food.
This just started, she was perfectly fine, or so she seemed, yesterday and this morning. The issue is that I ran out of feed on Tuesday, with like a little bit left yesterday, and wasn't able to get any until today. I was feeding them scraps I knew were safe for them, to help them supplement their diet until today (chicken, clovers from the yard, dandelions, cored apples in moderation, grass).
Help? I cannot let this chicken die, my youngest would be heartbroken— and so would my husband and I.
