I've had a sick bird for well over a week now, with absolutely no improvements. She lethargic, thin, she eats but doesn't drink much, she gasps every time she eats and shakes her head sometimes too. I first thought it was a worm burden, so I dewormed my flock. That didn't do anything. So I gave them vitamins/minerals and electrolytes. I think I should have separated her. She was the one with eh worse symptoms, I had another bird that was lethargic and gasping a small bit but she was still active. I now have 3 birds with these symptoms, and I haven't figured anything out. At all. Her crop empty fine, she's not bloated, egg production is down, some bird are molting, she has good color but I can't figure it out. Please help. She doesn't have any nasal/eye discharge, her face isn't puffy, last time I saw her droppings they look OK, I've seen some watery-slimy like droppings just recently, though. Along with brown cecal. This has been going on for over 8 days now.
