I have quite the puzzle for you all today. My oldest hen Goldie (About 2 1/2 years old) recently started acting lethargic and passing white, watery droppings. Aside from that, she's showing no other symptoms I can see. Her comb and wattle are a good color. She's eating and drinking and gets around ok, her tail doesn't droop, but when she stands still, she clearly doesn't feel herself. She pulls her head in very close to her body and moves very little. She has no fever, and though I checked for her being eggbound, I didn't feel anything. When I offer her treats of grasshoppers or veggies, she snaps them up without hesitation, and she will forage, but her step is not as spry as it ought to be.
This has been going on for several days now. Were it not for the watery droppings, I wouldn't be worried at all, but between the poop and the lethargy, I'm concerned for my old girl. Any ideas?
