My baby is sick

[CltMarie]

i have a six month old gold sex link and she's very wobbly. She has diarrhea but I don't see worms. Her face is pale. She's eating and drinking but not a lot. I can't find a vet that treats chickens. Help!

 

[Parront]

Is she laying? Favoring one foot or the other? Changes lately, new flock members, or other kind of stress? If you question her health, it never hurts to separate her from the rest of the flock and wait and watch. Treat her like she was a chick, warm quiet area with her own separate food and water.
Wish you well.

She's not favoring a foot but he's using her wings for balance. No changes except we had to give away the roo. No other stress I can think of. I'll take her inside and see if she does better

Any other birds in the flock acting strange?

 

[CltMarie]

Oh and no... she's not laying

Everybody else is acting fine. Out looking for bugs and seeds. No distress

Was she ever laying, did she stop recently, or not started yet?

 

[Parront]

Sex Links are usually laying pretty much by about 4 months old. They are bred to pump out eggs, one that has not started at 6 months sounds unusual.

 

[CltMarie]

She was laying before and has stopped

Is she getting calcium -- like oyster shell on the side? Some heavy layers need more calcium. She could be getting egg-bound.
