Hello! I am hoping someone can help out here. Our pullet (she’s about 12-16 weeks) isn’t doing so well. Yesterday morning we found one dead and noticed not long after that this one is lethargic. When we brought her in she barely wanted to stand and didn't put up a fight. After giving her some "magic water" (a friend recommended it) She seemed to have gained some (not much) strength yesterday. I kept giving her magic water throughout the day. This morning shes about the same.
- I was told it cant be respiratory related bc there is no discharge.
- I was told it may be coccidiosis but there is no blood in stool so the person retracted that suggestion.
- Her crop isn’t huge and feels almost like a squish ball.
- She has pooped but very little, perhaps bc she hasn’t eaten much? Her poop is not really “chunky” consistency. It’s more of a paint splash look.
She did eat very little yesterday evening. Not sure if she has anymore since.
We had 6 pullets separated from our older girls because we were doing the “look but don’t touch method.” Since they were fully feathered now. They’re enclosure is fully ventilated. 4 of the 6 pullets appear chirpy and happy still (we brought them back inside as well but separated from the one who is in the photo).
Any advice, tips and suggestions are welcomed. Thank you in advance!
*note* the pullet that passed away was purchased from a different place than her. I’ve had them since they were about 2-3 days old.
