She is puffed and closing her eyes. She's been like this for two days now. Initially, i thought she was egg bound, because before she started acting lethargic and puffed up, i saw her in the brooder box. Also about a week before she was acting lethargic and layed a shell less egg and afterwards she went right back to normal. So i have given her an Epson salt bath and lubbed her up a few times, but nothings has worked. She doesnt seem interested in eating or drinking. I loaded her up on some nutridrech. I've been using a syringe to almost force feed her wet food and recovery 911 water mixed in. Im starting to think something else is wrong with her. I gave her Corid last night because of the her stance and diarrhea. No blood in her poop though. I checked for mites. I didnt find any. I don’t want to lose her but I’m still very new to chickens so I don’t really know what else to do for her. Attached are pic of how I find her standing all puffed up and her poo.
