...maybe someone here can help?
She is a BSL, about 8 or 9 months old - has been acting strange the past 2 months.
She spends her time "fluffed up" like she is cold and the skin around her eyes seems a bit puffy and scaly, so she has a bit of "sleepy eye" going on.
I put her alone in a pen with food and Tylan soluble this afternoon, I was shocked to feel how light she is compared to her twin sister - she is skin and bones
Her feathers are full and shiny. I do see her eat, she takes dirt baths and hangs out with the other girls, but she is more quiet and by herself than the others.
She has no eye or nasal discharge, no coughs or sneezes, her poop seems fine.
As far as I know she is not laying yet (her sister has been laying for almost 2 months now).
She was wormed in December with Piperazine and I think she's been "ill" since then - is it a coincidence?
She was also treated with Ivermectin about 6 weeks later, as the whole flock had lice so I took no chances and treated everyone.
I'm just baffled, what could ail her?
She was fine up until end of December, early Jan!
PS: no-one else in the flock is ill, everyone is robust, happy and healthy!!
THANK YOU!!
