Aloha,
We are new here but have had hens for 9 years. We have a girl who's almost 1 and she's been very sick. I found her on the ground in the coop unable to stand up. It's been 2 full days now. Our local feed store (the owner is Filipino and gets various drugs from the Philippines) sold us Levomax (antibiotic) so she's getting that in her water which we are giving her by syringe. She's not really eating. She's staying in the house in a bin. Her breathing is labored and she just lays there and can't stand but holds her head up. She has laid eggs the last 2 days in her bin. The feed store guy thinks she has an internal issue. Any ideas? We live in Hawaii on the island of Kauai and it's been pretty rainy, hot and humid. Our other 15 chickens are all fine. She is such a great girl and mother to 6 and we love her so much. Any ideas/tips are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
