Did you check the coop for red mites and the pullets for lice as well?

Feel her crop, is it bloated and squishy or rather a hard ball? Does her crop empty overnight?



This could be caused by coccidia and can be treated with Amprolium/Corid.

The coop is almost brand new, we got it only last week and I have been dusting it with mite stuff when I clean it out. Also, what is Amprolium/Corid?

I'm not entirely sure. We got her from a certified place that did worming and vaccinations January this year. What would I use to de-worm them myself?

You might use Flubendazole 5%. Dosage 1,2g per kg feed for 7 consecutive days feeding only the medicated feed, not extras while de-worming.

Hey Everyone!
Yesterday morning when I let my chickens out I noticed that one of my girls, Nutmeg, was a bit slower and more lethargic than usual. Instead of gulping down the water as usual, she took only a few small sips with long pauses between them. She stayed in nearly the same place all day.
Today, again, she is listless and didn't drink much.
I only have 3 chickens, so they are very special, and I can't bear it when one of them gets ill.
Does anyone know why she is like this? Should I separate her?

She passed away last night. Thank you anyway for all your help, I’m sure it will be useful for the other chickens.
