hi found my old hen flailing on the floor of the coop this morning. complete loss of voluntary muscle control. swinging neck back. no sign of injury or diarrhoea, she is over 6years old. warmed her up and stroked her and she calmed. thought she would die within the hour so did not despatch her. she is still alive. no food intake. a little water was administered. partner will despatch her on his return what is it? i had a 3 yr old bantam cock just drop dead outside yesterday and 3 weeks ago we killed her partner rooster as her was not able to stand up anymore but still was eating and drinking. likewise has lost power to control his movements and kept falling over. help...........is this likely to spread? none of my hen are vaccinated if this is relevent. thanks x
