Hello, I've posted here before, but I couldn't get into my old account.
I've got an approximately 2+ month old chick who was active and healthy up until this past week. I've been watching him and the symptoms I've noticed are:
Low energy - he mostly sits and will chirp quietly when I'm near
Fluffed up- he sits with his head pulled in and feathers fluffed like he's cold.
No energy - he seems to have very little energy, I saw him get stepped on this morning and he just laid there, no struggle at all, I had to push the other chicken off. He doesn't struggle when picked up or even turned on his back, just peeps quietly.
Eats less - he does eat, but its low energy /low effort and he quits eating before similarly aged chick and just sits there puffed up.
Drinking - I'm not sure how much he drinks or if he even does, I tried to get him to drink this morning but he wouldn't.
I've looked him over and didn't notice anything. Any advice would be appreciated.
