I have a 3 month old buff orpington hen and shes been doing fine eating and drinking acting like a normal chicken until early last night when she starting acting weird.
She just stands where she is like she doesnt know what to do and sometimes she will peck at the ground very lethargicly never opening her beak or anything.
I checked her beak to make sure nothing was stuck in it preventing her from opening it or causing any other issues and it was totally normal, her crop is also empty so I dont suspect it to be sour crop?
This morning when I let them all out she did come out on her own and sort of wandered around but wasnt going to eat. I put her in front of the feeder and tapped on it to try and get her interested in it but she just completly ignored it and stoos there looking around slowly like she doesnt know what to do? Oh and shes also gotten very quiet making almost no noise like she used to.
Has anyone had this happen to them before? If anyone has any idea what it could be please let me know!
