Hey all!
My chicken has recently become sick, I'm not sure with what. There seems to be a mix of things it could be per my googling and I'm wondering if anyone here has a more solid answer so we can get her some help.
Symptoms:
-She's sticking her neck out and gasping for air and then pulling her neck back in then repeating this motion over and over. Sometimes does it with eyes closed.
-Her poop was this white creamy colour, with a little bit of foam and bubbles
-She hasn't eaten today or had anything to drink. She went to eat and then stopped and continued with the gaping motion.
-Extremely lethargic - just stands under a bush.
-Still able to stand and walk around normally.
Further info:
She's a year and a bit old. She lays extremely infrequently and her egg shells are fairly brittle. She's not isolating from the rest of the flock -they're actually staying with her. I can't feel any lumps or anything out of the ordinary other than her being a bit thin because she hasn't eaten.
Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to lose her! Thank you!
