My favorite chicken snowball is a 7 month old Easter egger who has not started laying yet. She has been acting very slow and has been laying down a lot. She just seams sick. I noticed it yesterday. She has been pooping (normal poop!), eating and drinking. I am just so worried about her and don’t know what to do to help her! I don’t think it’s egg bound because she has not even started laying and she is popping.
I don’t think it’s avian flu because she is only displaying the lazy symptom and no other chickens are displaying anything. I don’t think it’s cocodiosis because she has a red comb, is eating, no loss in appetite and is only displaying the lazy symptom. I don’t think it’s a bacterial infection because she is breathing normally (she has always been a sneezing chicken since birth. Never had a problem.)
so what could it be!?!
Yesterday I heave her a mash with nutridrench and vitiman b. She ate most of that.
I did not feel any inflammation anywhere. I also did not feel any thing under her vent to show egg bounding.
She has not been wormed unless they get that as a hatchery chick.
She has merick vaccines. She also had the vitiman pack as a chick.
She eats all flock feed and has access to oyster shells and grit.
She free ranges sometimes and goes outside daily.
