I have a 2 year old dark Brahma hen. She hasn’t laid in 2-3 weeks or so. The last few days I noticed she wasn’t running for treats so I gave her an exam. Has lost weight, no lice/mites, clear eyes/breathing. Eyes look a tiny bit swollen to me though (pic below). No injuries. Crop feels small and mostly empty. Vent looks fine, cannot feel any eggs in there. Color of comb is nice and bright.
She is drinking but not really eating. Poop is watery and dark green but no blood. The rest of the flock (10 hens 1-4 years) seem fine. I isolated her in my hospital pen to keep an eye on her and verify poop status.
They have a large enclosed run but sometimes get supervised grass time in a fenced area.
I am planning to treat them all for coccidia and deworm but other ideas? Especially since she seems to be the only one affected?
