Thread 'Chicken suddenly acting odd....' https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chicken-suddenly-acting-odd.1555210/
I originally posted in another thread about her behavior change.
She is a little over 1yr old silkie/EE mix, behavior change initially noticed was the lethargy and I thought it might be due to molting.
Current issues: doughy crop for a couple of days, lethargic, slight limp has increased to where she puts less weight on leg and can become a little unbalanced. Eats a tiny bit and today is showing lack of interest in drinking.
Not egg bound, no bumblefoot, no other injuries detected.
I have given her 1 baby aspirin, 2ml NutriDrench, 1/3 monistat suppository, mineral oil and massaged crop, and soaked in Epsom salt bath for 15 mins. Behavior started 1 week ago and limp was initially super slight with crop being normal in mornings.
I'm a bit at a loss. Could it be several things at once? I am still new to chicken keeping so I'm willing to accept that I might be overreacting as well.
