HELLO,
i may have a possible sick chicken.
age of her is over a year old.
laying eggs normal.
her poop was the bad kind. ill have to update and take a picture. its the milky kind.
i saw her eat a bit. but was gone most of today.
she does not seem as perky as the others.
no one else (chickens) are sick.

should i quartine her right away, starting tonight?

she has a strange sick smell?

we lost a chicken in feb. and i remember this smell. it was a sick like smell. i cant describe it.

i saw some poop stuck to her bottom, and washed it well. i didnt see any bugs or worms.

i just need to know if i should start quartining her from the others?

thanks again.

i checked on my chicken, let them out to free range.....she seems to be acting normal again. hopefully it was just a fluke!!! (very happy)
just wanted to give a update!

yes quarantine. Don't know much about illnesses but I read somewhere that "cocci" causes runny poops and sick smell. may want to search that? If it is cocci, treat with a med called sulmet and it should help.

okay. should i do that now? its dark out? i have another coop (empty) kinda just built it... should i move her in the dark?
i dont have that medicine tho.​

yes i have seen the poop page. its pictured on their. just runny very light yellow without poop
 
If you think it would traumatize her and she has already exposed (possibly) all the others she has been with, I guess you could wait till the morning to quarantine her...probably bad advice but like many say, chickens are flock animals and it may do more harm than good to move her in the dark. So far as the sulmet goes, you can get it at most any feed store for around 7-8 dollars. If you lived closer I would give you some, lol...hope she gets better!
 
It wasn't a ceacal poop was it? If so, that's normal, chickens have those everyday. Cocci has blood in the poop.

okay maybe i will wait in the morning, when i get home from work about 11am.
i think the dark would frightned her. i would hate to do that.
