a bar rock reaching the piont of lay has stopped moving. On Sunday she was alert and eating when given food. No obvious injury. Found her on the ground outside. Today she is somewhat alert. She has moved minimally on her own and tollorates being held/petted/moved well. I found her butt paisted up with greenish yellow, gritty, stinky poo. So she got a lukewarm bath. No lice. Resently dewormed.
What now? The rest of the flock seems okay, but about a month ago a 3 yr old hen died in less than 24 hours from unknow cause.
Please advise!
edit--This am there is little change. Should I pick up antibiotics? Cull her?
I like this one and last night another named chick didn't make it in to the coop. I'm feeling very discuraged. I am considering doing a large flock reduction...
I will talk to the county cooperative today but was hoping to get some advice before work this morning.
