Im guessing they are not napping?
The 2 that are doing this are 9-10 months old. My cochin started this, first she was off balance, then sitting with her eyes closed. Then fine. Now my EEx or Olive egger (not really sure) isnt off balance, but sitting and keeps closing her eyes. She has been fighting a respitory thing and finally stopped the constant sneezing. My whole flock is on Sulmet, per the old time chicken vet local to us. I have a large range of ages in the flock from 5 weeks - almost 2 years.
Im completely at a loss. I feel that since i got Bantams someone is always sick, or broody. My original flock were amberlinks, they never needed anything. But i wanted variety......
Sorry about the vent, just feeling a little defeated.
----Update---
After some research i am wondering if I might have 2 eggbound chickens on my hands. I havent seen and green eggs in the nest the past few days, and i do remember 1 1/2 weeks ago we had a soft shelled egg. I will try some warm baths tomorrow.
