My chicken has been sick for two days. At first it was some sort of extreme lethargy, and she was found loafed. It progressed to something akin to paralysis, as she can only twitch and squirm without coordination, and she is completely flopped. Her eyes are not clouded or dilated. She opens and closes her mouth at two second intervals almost as if choking, but it seems that she isn't choking. She has accepted some blended chicken feed without much problem by spoon-feeding but she can't even lift her head. It seems she has some amount of motor control but it's extremely weak. She lives with around 10 other chickens in a space the area of a garage outside, and this has happened at least one other time with another chicken, who was ended soon after.
