Help_ Frizzle chicken out of sorts

[6 Frizzles]

HI there
I'm new to having chickens and have 6 beautiful little silkie frizzles.

One of them has been quiet the last couple of days, and stays away from the others, although they all have been sleeping together.
This morning she came out for breakfast with aghasto, but didn't really have much, not even her marmite on toast that they all love!

When I;ve picked her up for cuddles, she's nestled in and been quite happy to stay with me, and fluttered down when shes had enough,so i know her wings are fine.

I've got her inside with me until she hopefully perks up.

Has anyone else had this happen to their chickens?

thanks


Chrissy

Welcome to BYC!

Very cute bird! Have wormed your flock recently? Worms are slow to drag the bird down, slowly starving the bird to death. Worms are common and if there are no other symptoms, worms are something to consider. But I would give her a complete exam from beak to tail, looking for anything else that might be bothering her. Check for mites or lice as well.

You can also post this in our emergency section for more help...

I hope your sweet baby gets better soon.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! What an adorable chicken, sorry she is not feeling well. X3 on give her a good exam and post in the Emergencies forum about her. Is she old enough to lay eggs and do you know if she has been?

HI there,, sorry its taken me so long to reply..
I've been busy then couldn't log back in,

Sadly my little girl passed away the morning after I took her to the vet,,
she had a virus she just couldn't fight.

Oh what a shame, what a pretty little girl she was. Did the vet say if it could spread to your other chicks?

Thanks for your kind message
The others are doing very well and growing fast!
I often think of Marmite and wonder what she would look like now..
