Lethargic Young Hen

[Abriana]

I did treat the whole flock and Opal is drinking it on her own . However, she did not lay an egg even though she got into the box and started panting and was going crazy for a bit.

Does she feel heavier than normal? She could be internally laying.

 

[Lifeiseasy]

No, she's not heavier. I also don't feel anything in her that's not normal.

Thats good. Has she been eating? Is her crop full every night and empty in the morning?

 

[Lifeiseasy]

She just started eating by herself again this morning. She's also currently eating a boiled egg with TUMS on it. I'll give you a crop report later.

Thank you everybody for being so helpful. Opal is feeling a lot better now and she actually laid an egg earlier. When the rain lets up I am going to let her go back out in the coop and monitor her for a little bit. I am also going to keep the Corid going just in case. Thank you again for the wonderful suggestions and support.

Glad to hear she is doing better
