Hello!
Over the last two days, I have noticed that our Blue-Splash Maran, Parmesan, has not been herself. She has become lethargic, she falls asleep standing up in the middle of the yard. She also does not run up to receive snacks, she just watches. I have not seen her drink a lot but she does eat a little, but not her usual. Now, it has been very hot over the last couple of days but the other three seem to be doing fine/are normal. The coop is clean and they have plenty of room inside. They free-roam during the day. They are about 17 weeks-old and have not started laying yet. Her comb is not pale, it is still red and no mites, I checked. Also, she always seems to move her head back and forth, she seems to just keep moving it. I am a first time chicken owner, so do I just have "first time parent" syndrome, or is there something seriously wrong?
Thank you!
