Hen acting weird

[Wyorp Rock]

You are doing the best you can.
Hopefully with getting the tarp up and treating the mold, things will start to get better for you.

Doesnt help thinking the rest of his birds are diseased. Its stupid but I get that scared feeling like everyone else will die. And of course its raining today so I cant kick them out to clean the coop. Shouldve just done it all yesterday.

It's been normal lately. Just the usual head shaking. One more violently than the others. My old hen still has diarrhea but everyone else is normal poo. The only thing that's weird is snowball has a closed eye now. I'm hoping it was just a peck in the face and not whatever Blackie Hen had. She walks around normal just with her one eye closed and you can see the air puff in her eye.

Snowball is not feeling too well is she. Can you gather her up and take a closer look at the eye - is there a little scab at the top of the eye, it could be just dirt LOL If you see anything in the eye, flush it with some saline.

Look inside her beak while your at it just to make sure there's no mucous, etc.

Thanks. Will do. Shes standing with her right leg up and her right eye closed. She does preen and roam. She did have not a full crop for two weeks. Just smaller but still enough food in it. Shes also one of my tiny sneezers. Havent heard a sneeze from her tho today. She does vent pick so maybe she got pecked by someone mad. Looking at the eye now.

Meanwhile...this is the flock and the cool. Just stupid head shakes still and occasional tiny sneezes.

I looked at her after she fought me to hold her down. Her mouth is completely clean. No pocks. No canker. No worms. No mucous. Her nares smell normal. Her eyes are clear and there's no bubbles. Ill try swabbing her ear tonight to see if theres infection or mites. The way hrr eye puffs when shes breatging freaks me out. Her other eye doesnt do it. Shes normally the feisty run around and eat everything first. I did come home with a nasty rash on my one hand. I did bleach the pantry with gloves on and pouted mire DE into my bucket. Not sure if that got on my sleeve. And scratched Mussy's neck with that hand without gloves. I'm super calm today surprisingly. Its just one weird thing after another.

Yesterday I bleached down the nesting boxes and the floor and roost. Just a tiny cap of bleach to the gallon of water. Then the boxes were filled with aspen pine shavings. Each drinker was bleached and has fresh water with acv and rooster booster. They were also locked in the coop til 8am. With the shutters open. Their snacks today were cracked corn and sunflower seeds. They also have a bale of alfapfa that sits outside. Sunday it snowed. Monday it rained. And today its a mix of sun and crappy wind.
