I have a 15 month old Australorp hen who started limping profoundly four days ago. I checked her over --no broken bones, etc. Soaked her in a warm bath for a while and then checked to see if she was egg bound--nope. Her appetite has been healthy and she has been drinking. For the past two days she has been lying on the coop floor all during the day and night. She will readily take food when I give it to her. She just stood up and was at the top of the ramp when she pooped. Her feces looked totally undigested. I have been giving her 1/2 of a baby aspirin each day in case she just strained something.
What can be causing these symptoms? Thank you in advance for your help!
