Hello. One of my chickens, a 5 month old bantam, was standing in one spot and not moving for a while. She's normally difficult to catch but I've had no problem picking her up.
Right now she's inside in a carrier with water. She's mostly just sitting down. Crop is empty aside from a few pebbles. Not interested in eating (tried live mealworms to really entice her but no dice). I used a syringe to get her to drink a bit of water, like a few ml worth.
Vent is not obstructed/puffy. Didn't feel an egg/mass in her when I checked her stomach/rear. Hasn't gone to the bathroom since I took her in. She doesn't have any discharge or discoloration or weird breathing.
I have a small number of birds and the rest are doing fine.
Can anybody please help with identifying what's going on?
