Polish not doing much

[jcanady]

Hey,
Our polish is about 2-3 years old. Today she’s laid and hasn’t moved. We can stand her up and she’s a little wobbly then goes back to laying. She’s drinking a little bit. We have her in a box atm with food and water to monitor her. Any suggestions?

Is it hot where you live?

When I have a bird that is acting 'off' I isolate bird in a wire cage within the coop for a day or two....so I can closely monitor their intake of food and water, crop function(checking at night and in morning before providing more feed), and their poops. Feel their abdomen, from below vent to between legs, for squishy or hard swelling. Check for external parasites or any other abnormalities.


Best to put crate right in coop or run so bird is still 'with' the flock.
I like to use a fold-able wire dog crate (24"L x 18"W x 21"H) with smaller mesh(1x2) on bottom of crate under tray.
Then you can put tray underneath crate to better observe droppings without it being stepped in. If smaller mesh is carefully installed, tray can still be used inside crate.
