1) What type of bird , age and weight.
ISA Brown I think?, 2 years she's the same weight as the other... not sure.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
Not moving much, Not sure if she's been eating/drinking but now that she's in isolation I've seen her drink and eat yogurt. Yesterday I did see little wing things on her yesterday... they were probably about 3mm each. She also she just lets me pick her up and she'd usually squat and stomp. She doesn't look kind of puffy.
I've also noticed that none of our other 2 laying chooks (of the same age - white and black one) haven't layed either. We have one older, Buff Susex who one who doesn't lay often.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
this is the third day
4) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
I dont think so
5) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.
can't think of anything... I found her outside the coop (she's not the adventurous chook) and she just let me pick her up but nothing appeared to have happened.
6) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
Drinking fresh water and little yogurt.
7) How does the poop look? Normal? Blody? Runny? etc.
Haven't seen a poo and her bottom is clean... i've felt around there and can't tell if a egg is stuck.
8) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
Put her in the cage so she doesn't infect the other and put Diatomaceous Earth on her and the coop.
9 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
Myself
10) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
11) Describe the housing/bedding in use
they have a metal coop, with straw and we did use the hemp bedding a few months ago.
