Our 1-1/2 year old Speckled Sussex is lethargic, not moving around, not eating or drinking. She has her beak open quite a bit. This started yesterday. She just sits in one spot in the shade, didn't want to get off perch in hen house this morning, usually very eager to leave hen house to go free range in backyard. We checked for messy vent, parasites, worms, looked under wings, feet, everything looks fine. Her eyes are bright and alert, comb is bright red. She laid an egg yesterday. Poop is runny and mostly white with some yellowish/greenish. Its been hot recently, but not too bad yesterday or today. Our other hen is wandering around normally.
I've started giving her water/sugar/electrolytes with a dropper, but she doesn't want it. I think I'm getting a few drops in, not sure how much to force it.
Any ideas?
Many thanks, Mia
