Emergency! SICK CHICKEN!

[duckking]

I went outside today to feed my chickens and ducks when I looked over and saw my jersey giant standing alone. She has a plae comb and is closing her eyes it looks like she is haing trouble keeping them open. Usually she is running around and hates to be touched but when I went near her and started petting her he didn't even move. She made a few cops but no running away likes usuall I lifted her wings to check and see in a roaster had scratched her but there is nothing. I haven't seen her eat or drink. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER? I lost a chicken last week and I don't want to loose another. What should I do?

Well you can try checking her for mites, lice and creepy crawlies. Sounds whatever it is is killing your birds. Look under the tail/vent, on the legs, under the wings, neck area. A bad case of mites can kill the birds. I would suggest dworming them along with a mite/lice treatment at the same time.
