Hello, I'd be grateful for some help.
The following is happening to our 2 year old RhodeRock hen:
- feathers puffed up
- movements like she is wretching/hiccuping but no sound - could almost be like shes a little itchy
- eating and drinking appears ok, but does seem less herself
- poo seems normal
- not laying (but has been last couple of days)
- symptoms started this afternoon
- no sign of mites in the coop, although we have dusted the coop and birds just in case
- other hen shows no symptoms and is in usual spirit
- we have had 1 month of unusually cold weather in the UK which has meant them being cooped up a lot more
- head under her wing when normally she would be pecking around the garden
Thanks for your thoughts; we're new to this game so all suggestions will be gratefully received!
