Hi All,
Hoping someone can advise me please. My hen is sick with something. Can't figure out what it might be.
Symptoms: Not interested in eating or drinking
Can stand and walk ok
Hanging by herself and so have moved her into a crate on her own with food/water
Watery poop, possibly a little bloody
Making a weird clicking sound with her beak and kinda crossing it over a tiny bit
Comb flopped over
Otherwise still very alert
NO nasal discharge
NO discharge from eyes
Vent dirty
What I've done so far: Wormed her with Valbazen today
2.5 mls given of Baytril 5% liquid
Note: currently all chickens are being kept penned 24/7 as we do not yet have fences up.....so I had considered cocci, but have ruled this out due to no free-ranging? Correct?
Would appreciate any thoughts on what might be happening please? I'm wondering if the beak thing is that she has fallen from the roost and whacked her beak onto the floor? There are no obvious physical signs of any beak damage (just trying to figure out what the weird clicking thing is).
Are there any chicken disease that fit the above description of symptoms...particularly the clicking beak thing?
Thanks in advance for your help
