This is Chickadee. Just over a month ago I noticed he just sitting down in the coop. Not really doing much, abit lethargic. Still eating and drinking but had lost weight. I separated her from the flock and hand fed and watered etc. She did have mites at the time so treated her for that and the rest. I also wormed her and the rest of the flock. I took her to the vet as she wasn't improving. She had no respiratory symptoms at all. The vet said she may not survive at the time but gave me some antibiotics for a week. I kept her inside and warm and fed her whatever she could/would eat, put vitamins in her water and gave her some eggs from the flock. She seems to get more energy back after a couple weeks so eased her back into the flock. But she hasn't got back to 100% so I have bought her back in again. She often stands up and stretches one wing out. She puffs up. Still very underweight. Please if anyone can give me some advice on what to do next. It has been well over a month
