5 months old
White Legion hen
Has layed once or twice, but hasn't in 3-4 days or more
Going on 3 days of lethargy, eyes closed, laying face down in the dirt.
Separated her last night and brought her inside.
All flock free ranges across a few acres including small wooded area.
Flock is all on Layena
No other treatments. Haven't dewormed.
One other chicken started showing some similar symptoms yesterday, everyone else fine so far.
No signs of mites as far as I can tell.
Crop felt empty this morning.
Poop pics from last night.
Any help is appreciated!
Small update on overall Coop history below. Also, silver dorking info in 2nd post.
Overall coop history:
1-year ago:
1 chicken died with a 'heavy load' of worms present in fecal. We treated remaining members and everyone happy since then.
Two other chickens died mysteriously (both old over 6 years old)
We have doubled the flock size in the past two months from 8-16, including a 2nd rooster.
Stress has obviously been introduced because of these changes.
