I'm at a loss everyone. I have a very sick hen and have done a ton of research and can't figure out what is going on.
Today is Tuesday. I first noticed her acting strange on Friday.
I don't know her breed. She is about 2.5 years old.
She was just standing around. When she walked it was very labored and slow. If she was standing and one of the others bumped her, she would just about fall over.
I isloated her. She has not be at all verbal.
She is in molt. She has lost alot of weight. She has diarrhea. Is eating, but very little. Mostly scrambled eggs right now. She had been on Nutrena layer feed pellets before getting sick. Drinking some water with nutri drench. Standing mostly with her tail down. I've oiled vent, soaked in epsom salt baths 3 times, just in case of egg binding. She seems to have 2 very large lumps on the left side toward the end of the (breastbone?). Not below vent.
Yesterday at one point she was stretched out with her leg behind her and seemingly couldn't get it back under her. I helped her and put it under her. Later she was standing.
Today she has only stood up shortly but hasn't walked. I have been constantly offering food and water and she will take a little from time to time. She is very drowsy and just wants to sleep. Of course, she's my favorite.
