Coop Hen Query

[Coop Chick]

Hi there,
One of out girls stayed in the coop this morning and was still in at 8.30am when my partner left for work.
She's standing not sitting and as with our other 2 girls no longer lays. She seems alert but was looking round as though not sure where she was...
She's about 2 1/2 and we got her from a local free range organic farm... Any advice gratefully received

Is she eating, drinking and pooping normally? Have your birds been through any recent stresses like moving to a new coop or a predator attack? Any other changes in behavior?

Some more details would be helpful. Or you could try posting over on the emergencies/diseases forum:

Hope everything works out fine.

Thanks for joining us!

Hi again,
Thank you for your replies, really grateful. No changes or scares to my knowledge. Somedays like today it's hatd to tell as am at work all day - got home tonightand she's out of the coop thankfully.. Her crop feels as though she's eaten and drank on my poo pick
Up I haven't come across suspicious looking ones but haven't seen her actually poo. She seems a bit quiet but could be my paranoia!! Will keep an ey on her and see how she goes. Love my girls so much !!

Sounds like your hen is acting a little bit better. I hope she continues to make progress.

Hi again, she stayed in the coop again this morning. Not sure whether to jump on the baytril med to stop any infection in it's tracts. Any suggestions on that?
