Porcelain d'Uccle Bantam sick...

[nine9d]

Hey all,
I got in my new Bantam flock this Tuesday, and all seem well and active except for the Porcelain d'Uccle. I've been a good chicken dad and have been cleaning them for pasty butt and giving treats and changing their food and water. Today I noticed she is faaarrr less active then the others. She had been eating and drinking, albeit not as much as the others. I have given her 1 drop of Nutri-drench (not sure if i should give her more), and I am just monitoring her. I haven't seen her out much to eat or drink today, but she sort of just putters are aimlessly.

She does whine every now and then for no reason imo, and I had to even put her to sleep last night. Is there anything else that I should be doing for her?

P.S. - Her name is Porsche

In addition, I did notice that it "looks like" she has 2 holes by her vent, one which is her vent, and then another directly above it (not her umbilical cord). I will try and snap a pic and post here, does that sound like anything? Maybe I am just seeing things.

I had a mille fleur d'Uccle bantam chick once. Is Porsche smaller than the rest of your flock, and is the rest of your flock older? If so, then the other chicks might be bullying her away from the food and water, and she might be dehydrated or not getting enough nutrients. just a guess

Thanks for your reply. No she is not the smallest, and they are all the exact same age. I would say she is middle of the road in size Here are some pictures that I took of the hole/vent so you all can help me out. Also, one of Ms. Porsche. I hope she is o.k. :'(

She is adorable! I don't know what to think about the 2 holes; i've never seen anything like it before. Does she seem more active now?

 

[nine9d]

She is, thank you. This is the one out of all of them that I wanted too.

She isn't anymore active, I did see that she walked over and went for a drink. Sometimes she pecks at random things, weird behavior.

Perhaps she pecked at her butt or someone else did when she had some pasty butt and tore it? I just want someone to verify that it is in fact an extra hole and I'm not going crazy. Maybe I put some Triple Antibiotic Ointment on it, I don't know.

Anyone have any idea?

I started to post over here (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/porcelain-duccle-bantam-sick-cross-post.1237789/) folks, as I think I made this in the wrong area. Thanks and sorry.

All,
I went to humanely euthanize her this morning as she was in terrible condition, and she had already passed. We had such high hopes last night. But I kinda had a feeling when I woke up. Going to bury her now. Thank you.
