I have (had) 6 chickens. 2 years old.
Last week one was dead when opened coop. Only thing that had been different about her was, for the 2 weeks prior she had purple comb, otherwise looked and acted great. This morning one was laying on her side. Stood her up and she walked off like nothing. Couple hours ago, on her side again. I checked her legs, through feathers, and for egg binding. Her crop was empty. I removed her from coop. I placed food and water next to her and she's eating and drinking. I don't know what's going on with my girls. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any advice?
