So i’ll start this off by saying Darling has been acting weird for a while now. Shes a female, serama, 1 1/2 or so years old.
I see nothing visually wrong with her other then her behavior and her comb. I looked around for a minute for more visual problems, and saw nothing. Even in her mouth, i saw nothing there either.
She really first started acting like this when i got rid of Vanilla, a silkie. She was so darn attached to that boy but unfortunately we had to give him away due to his excessive crowing. Now, i will say, i will not miss his crowing. But it did hurt my heart to see Darling so upset.
Now, i do know that chickens tend to get sad when something happens to some of their flockmates. She was lonely for almost her entire life, really. We couldn’t find her a friend because she was so bossy, but she loved him. Anyway, i think this was like 2 months ago, Its been a while. She can’t possibly STILL be depressed over his disappearance, could she?
I had a similar situation, 2 very very attached chickens, more attached then these to, and i had to get rid of one. You could tell the other one was extremely sad, but that lasted for about a day, and she carried on to her chicken behaviors. We got her 2 friends around 5 months, but still she seems so off.
Her behavior is depressed. She kinda just sits there in front of the mirror all day. She doesn’t eat to much, but then again, she never ate a ton.
She just seems so, so sad. And sleepy, very very sleepy all day. You pick her up and she will usually just fall asleep.
Her comb is smaller then when i first got her, and much much paler, yellowish.
I will get a picture if needed, help is appreciated.
