Our girl is an astrolorp(sp) and was lethargic and sleeping when we came home from work. We brought her in the house fed her some eggs and made her drink some water with minerals. Now, I have not seen any poop but some pee. Her abdomen is feels soft like our other girls. We can’t get her to wakeup but she is breathing. We know she is going to pass and we are keeping her warm with a chick light to keep her comfortable. We verified our water was clean, food not moldy and our girls get fresh veggies and mealworms daily. Does anyone have any idea what could have happened?
I have noticed a little white bug crawling near her eye. We spread DE in our coop and where our girls bath in sandy areas. I am going to dust them all today with DE. Too cold for chicken baths with water.
