HELP SICK BIRD!

Calcium citrate with D3.

Great!

Other than her stance, she is walking around and eating. Not sure what to make of it.

Yeah.

Has her tail always been down?

Not really

Sometimes when they really don't feel good, they just stand around, fluffed up or head pulled in,

She does that!

and don't even respond to favorite treats

Oh no she’s eating her fav thing (mash)

. I've not had any pullets get sick before. I did have one that genetically had her tail down with nothing amiss.

That stance is a sign of being egg-bound. Let me see if I can find an article to help you.

@OrpingtonManiac @GodLovesU @CCsGarden i got a poop picture because she was in a crate. She pooped twice in 3 hours. Normal?!?View attachment 4047502

Looks normal... But those shavings in her poo means she is probably eating them?

No it’s because I picked it up then dropped it on accident

So is there any chance she picked up some bit of hardware or metal? Mine have done that before.
