Need help!!!

[DolceVita]

So my 16 week old was lethargic yesterday, dropped wings, lethargic. We think it was from the heat. Today we found her layed out and not in good shape. We brought her in and but her under a fan. She has perked up but has stopped eating and won’t drink. My mom gave her water down her throat and an hour later she is breathing with her mouth open. She’s relaxed but I don’t know what is wrong. Someone help please.

Can it be aspiration?? She isn’t coughing or weezing

How is she this morning? What do droppings look like? Pictures if you have them are welcome.

She passed away. No idea what happened. We think she had a seizure. She was always a “special” bird and behind the pack mentality.

So sorry for your loss. If you have the body, keep it cold, and call your state poultry vet to get a necropsy which will give you a possible cause of death. Here is a list of state vets:

She always ate and was very very very slow. Like she couldn’t fly that well or keep balance. I think the heat got to her and her body just wasn’t strong enough. Stress might of caused seizure.

Last night along with the opening of the mouth she would do this Bucking of the head and struggle while gasping. I’m wondering if she aspirated
