Hey all,
Yesterday I came home from a trip to find one of my BCM hen very cold and almost dead. Took all night by the fire for her to warm up, and she seemed to recover. Walking around, eating and drinking like normal. Now, about 24 hours later, I still have her inside, but she's standing very still, her eyes closed most of the time, not responding much to external stimuli. Also, her crop is really large and mushy - it's like the food just softened and is sitting in there.
Couldn't find a thread about a bird with similar symptoms. Anyone out there ever experience anything like this?
Thanks!
Morgan
