so before my kids wake up from naps this is going to be quick but I need help!
One hen died saturday 2yrold, in her coop probably during the day. Checked on hens at night to lock up and found her in the "old coop" that coop is clean because she only goes in there to lay. She has been laying eggs daily. Noticed her sitting down a lot and kind of chirping repeatedly. Mouth open like heat exhaustion. (Definitely not heat related) they always have fresh water and food. I did not notice if she was eat/drinking before she died.
Other 2yr laying hen same symptoms. Mouth open, constantly following me around. She can jump/run but almost looks like her wings are out from her body then normally keeping close. She is eating and drinking. She is in a small cage right now, cool environment, fresh hay food/water. Keeps chirping making noises, can't stay still but not because she's in a cage. She seems fairly content in the cage actually.
I ordered medication for gap just because, it won't get here for 2 days. (Atleast I can give my 15 week olds this). I called all around no one has anything with levamisol.
If not gap what other causes could of killed my one hen and sickened this one?
