I have an approximately 5 month old barred rock hen, along with 9 other hens and a Easter egger rooster. For the past few days, this single bird has had these symptoms
other info:
Any ideas?
- solitary and lethargic. Stays inside coop and very still
- eats only a little
- closes eyes often, when eyes are open can see eyelids ... they look like pale rings around her eyes
- pale comb but Some other health birds‘ are not bright red either
- every few seconds she will extend her neck and open her mouth about a quarter inch
- yellow damp goopy streaks around her vent
- when viewed from behind, area between legs (In front of vent) seems to “heave”
other info:
- eyes are clear and bright
- no paralysis, shaking or neurological signs
- scales on legs are smooth and shiny (normal looking)
- no beak or mouth discharge
- no distended or hanging crop
- she will scoot away when pecked but then goes back to sleepy behavior
Any ideas?
