I purchased a hen (not sure what she is) about a month ago from someone who bought them for his six year old. The hen, Lulu is about a year old.
Right after we got her (and maybe before) she started getting really tired after walking and would walk on her withers and now she has a really poopy bottom. She is getting weaker and weaker. She is so skinny and almost gone. We brought her into the house in a dog crate for the night. It is 50 degrees and cools to 30 at night right now. They have heat lights at night.
On Monday I started giving her starter feed (because it has anitbiotics in it) but it is not helping at all. I think she was laying eggs because one egg was always poopy, but none now.
Any suggestions? I am not sure she will be here in the morning.
Worms?
Parasites?
Egg stuck?
Thank you so much for reading this. I want to do whatever it takes to make her feel better. She is so pretty.
