In the Brooder
Hey all,
I'm new to chickens and am having a bit of a scare.
I have a barred rock that is about a year and a half old. Over the past week or 10 days shes been very lethargic, standing with her eyes closed a lot, slowly walking, not putting up her usual fight when we pick her up. In the past 4 days or so she hasnt been eating much. She eats dried meal worms but the crickets we tried giving her seemed to be too much work for her to eat.
She has very watery and sparse poop. She did start molting a little while ago but that seems to have slowed down or stopped midway through her molt.
We started giving her vetRX, put diatomaceous earth in their food, and put rooster booster(vitamind and electrolytes with lacto bacillus) in their water 3 days ago. Our other 3 are acting fine, but this one seems to be getting weaker by the day.
Any idea of what it could be and how we can help her?
