Help, what is this and how do I treat?

[RinaRoo]

I went out to feed my flock this morning, and my little itty bitty Orpington who always greets me wasn't there. So I pour the food in the feeder, and look in the coop to see if she was in there.

She was huddled in the corner with her wings droopy. She barely made a fuss when I picked her up. She's aways been very quick to dart around.

She was fine yesterday. The only one who ever picks at her is my rooster, and he just chases her off when the flock is free ranging.

Aww, this might be temporary, maybe she just feels bad? If this persists though, she might have a lethargic illness.

But what is going on with the oozing eye, and seemingly runny nose?

Also, can you give us more details? Has any funny behavior happened to any other chickens? Are they paying? Is any of her body look weird, or is it just droopiness?

Sorry I meant laying, not paying.

I honestly don't know. I'm just giving what I know, ask a real expert. Sorry.

She was just standing in the corner. She peeped a little bit when I picked her up. No other chicken is acting funny, just her. I'm most concerned about that swollen and oozing right eye, and left nostril is runny. Only my over a year hens are laying. The others should be within the next month or so. They range from 16-20 weeks old right now.

Hi, Sorry to hear your girl is not well. Have you any Nutri-Drench or Net Tex poultry
drops. As you could give her some, especially if she is lethargic. Also bathe her eye
with saline. You can also see if she will eat some yogurt with fresh chopped up herbs.
Parsley is good. You can try her with scrambled egg too. And make sure she is drinking. Keep her separate from others, to be on safe side. Then keep an eye
on her, another thing i have used, if mine has runny nose. Know Vick vapour rub, dab a little on each nostril and a few dabs on her front. It will not hurt her. This has helped
mine in the past. I am sure others will give you advice soon. Good luck.
