Hello I have a sick hen I noticed a week ago it spent all its time alone while free rangeing
well didn’t think much of it one night it was late and was still in the yard and I went to get it a it kept stumbling. I put it in the coop but noticed all other chickens kept pecking it’s head so I locked it in it’s own room with water and food was in there for 4-5 days thought it seemed better
but then every time I checked on it it’s head was tucked down like it was sick and wasn’t moving much. Today it’s laying on ground and hardly alive I grab it and it’s head just flops around eyes open some then just shut I think it may be to late for it but is there anything I can do I have thought about killing it as much as I hate to but I don’t want it to suffer any more.
I haven’t noticed any wounds on it or mites but it’s stomach did have poop on it and feathers were gross like it layed in poop for awhile also it’s color has changed the red on its head was bright red now a blueish color. I think the hen is 4-5 years old now.
Hope to hear back from someone soon thanks
