Hi! This is my first use of this site and my last resort. I have a hen who is about a year old, she has been healthy and happy until a few weeks ago when we noticed that she was puffed up in the corner away from the other hens. We took her inside to monitor her and her condition didn't change much and we treated her for worms and mites but she just kept getting worse.
Today, I was with her and she walked into the wall at the back of her crate, seeming to be unaware of its existence. This made me wonder whether she might be blind so I did some tests to see if she would react to my finger coming towards her or light in her eyes. We compared her reactions to her sister's but she wouldn't react to anything, not even something she could sense if she could see like a loud noise or a sudden gust of sir. She no longer moves when I touch her or tries to get food or water. Its like she's given up.
Please, if anyone has advice or any suggestion at all, I am desperate to save her.
