Hi everyone, we have a 4 week old buff orpington chick who is really not herself. She is lethargic/depressed (just standing my herself and sleeping standing up, she won’t lay down!), not eating or drinking very much and quiet. When we pick her up she doesn’t struggle at all and her chirp sounds a bit like she has a sore throat. She’s a bit puffed up like she’s cold. Her comb is quite pale too but hard to tell with her colouring. We started coccidiosis treatment yesterday and are giving vitamins. Have checked her for mites and patty bum, all clear. Her undercarriage is quite red but not patchy. Haven’t noticed any blood in her droppings or anything.
Any ideas what this could be? And anything else we can do for her? We love her very much and can’t bear the thought of losing her!
TIA
