Hi all,
My chicken will not move at all. I found her 6 days ago laying in the coop looking injured. I thought maybe a broken wing? Her left wing seemed like it was just hanging there. I removed her from the flock and put her in a separate cage. She has just been laying down not moving at all. After the 3rd day, her nose became crusty and her stool became pure liquid. She started to open her mouth each time she was in taking air. Looked like she was gasping for air. We then thought, maybe it is a disease and not a broken wing. Both her wings seem to fine now and she will not move at all. She is just laying in the same spot. It is now the 6th day and her stool is back to normal, she is eating and drinking like normal and completely alert. I just can't seem to figure out what is wrong with her. Will she get better? Is this a permanent thing now?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
