hey,
so i noticed my hen’s (who’s name is chicken, so creative i know) usually erect pretty comb had flopped over. then the next day, i noticed it had white splotches on it. then i noticed it had purple edges. so i went to go check on chicken, who is at the top of the pecking order, and she wasn’t running for treats, shoving past other chickens, and squawking at me like usual. she was walking slowly, looking confused, hanging around the back. i felt her breastbone today, and she feels like skin and bone. i usually bring the flock the bugs and fruit and other treats i find and she was not interested.
she is still walking around, just slowly, and seems confused.
what should be my next plan of action? is this bird flu? this seems like symptoms my other chickens had shortly before they died. is there anything i can do besides quarantine?
