Im sorry for your LossNo idea I detailed the whole stage in the other thread , had 4 chickens die over the month and been a while now but now she showed illness /egg bound and crap poops yellow etc but now she is like starving herself so now I can’t even get an id from her poop to say what’s up
They was wormed and de lice , but I literally can’t see any reaso for her to be Ill ?
The 2 baby’s was weak that died and the other 2 I think they got illnesses from being lice attacked as was the ones with tatty feathers that died
But we are totally lice free and I guess worm free ,
This is puzzling I can’t explain it all the rest are healthy as hell just this one bird
It seems to get em 1 at a time
Killed a rat other day I wondered if that could have effected them
Rats can carry some diseases but the hens will only get them if they eat let’s say their poop or something from them, is their food on the floor in the coop or somewhere the rat can get it easily?
I had a hen once who first was eggbound and after she got the egg out she didn’t really seem to recover, she was ill, she wouldn’t eat or drink and she made weird green poops kinda like your hen.
For 10 days she was alone with me as her only company and I thought that I would take her out to the flock to say goodbye bc I figured it wasn’t something contagious she had.
After I took her out to the flock she started eating and drinking immediately.
I don’t know what she had but it helped to have her flock around her. Mabye you could consider trying and putting her with her flock, I put mine in a pen next to the coop so they could hear and see each other
You could also try and give her a bath to get rid of all the dead lice
