I have 13 golden comet pullets and today they seem to be coming down with something. I have 3 so far that I have separated from the rest that seem extremely lethargic and are laying down on their sides. They still "peep" and will move if I nudge them but keep their eyes closed and won't drink or eat. I have been "force feeding" them electrolyte water (has coconut powder in them) with a eye dropper. I'm considering feeding them some homemade kefir tonight. They live in an enclosure outside and receive fresh grass and bugs daily with an organic crumble feed as a supplement. I really do not want to lose my whole replacement flock. I've never had this problem with chickens before. Please help!
FYI, they need to remain organic because I sell the eggs antibotic and hormone free.
