So last week we had a chicken die on us. First she had a wounded leg so I seperated her from the flock. She didn't seem sick for awhile but then she started getting lethargic and not moving. She got infested with lice. She began to just lay in one spot day and night and eventually passed. I have no idea what she was sick with. At first I thought she was egg bound but that wasn't the case. I treated her for the lice but it was already too late. I wasn't able to save her. She died Friday night. Today another one of my hens has come down with something and is acting the same way. I found her in the neighbors yard and called her back over to me but she didn't come which isn't like her. She always comes when I call. I had to go pick her up. Her comb is purplish, she is lethargic and when I sat her in the coop she kind of just fell onto her stomach and layed there. Please if anyone knows what this could be I truly need help. We lost my sons pullet and this hen happens to be the first one I owned. I do not want to lose her.
