I picked up 4 eight month old Malaysian Seramas from a lady on BYC about two weeks ago (3 hens and 1 Roo). Yesterday morning I went out to feed & water everyone and I found one of the silkie Serama hens dead. No injuries. She was eating, drinking and eliminating the day before. I have them in quarantine in a rabbit hutch.
Last night the roo's tail was droopy. I fed and watered everyone this morning and I watched them all eat and drink. The other two hens seem OK. Tails up and walking around. Roo seems not to be as active and just went out again and his waddles look very pale - but eating and drinking. Gave them yogurt and water with vitamins. I emptied their cage and look through all the shavings and no unusual poo. Any suggestions? I have never lost a chicken before and I am so worried
